Pilot Comments for ESMS
Christoph
Flew the Bonanza to Malmö for a few days. The Svedavia Weekly Season Card is available in the terminal after landing. Free landings at all participating airfields for 800 SEK, including one week of parking. Note that the number of airfields where this card is valid is decreasing, but it’s still very fair price-wise. A VW van shuttles you to the terminal and back to the aircraft. Bring your own tie-down ropes; concrete blocks are available.
A taxi into town (about 400 SEK flat rate) is cheaper than the bus (about 150 SEK) for three people. From Malmö city you’re in Copenhagen by train in 30 minutes. Malmö itself is a pleasant small town with nice restaurants and pubs.
Caution: For VFR flights to Gotland, a flight plan is required. Our attempt to air-file was unfortunately not approved when this caught us by surprise.

Malmö Sturup (ESMS) is a large but generally quiet international airport open 24 hours, accommodating both VFR and IFR operations without PPR. ATC is consistently described as friendly and professional, with straightforward procedures for both arrival and departure. The airport handles light general aviation routinely, with clearances, vectors, and SIDs provided as needed. Parking is typically on the main apron or designated GA areas; a follow-me car may guide you to your stand. There is no dedicated GA terminal, but flying clubs such as Sturup Flygklubb can assist with entry/exit for non-customs flights.
Landing and parking fees are invoiced by Swedavia, often sent by post. For those without a Swedavia season card, landing plus parking fees are about SEK 625–655 (approx. €60–€70). Example: landing and overnight parking about €80. A weekly season card is available for around SEK 800 (€80), covering multiple Swedavia airports. Handling by private agents such as Allied Aero incurs higher costs; example: handling fee SEK 1900 plus surcharges after 6 pm and security fees.
Avgas (100LL) is available via South Sweden Flight Academy or the flying club on Apron West; UL91 is available from Sturup Flygklubb. Fuel payment by credit card is accepted at the club, while the main fuel provider may charge a significant hookup fee (around SEK 1000). Jet A-1 is also available. Fuel prices are generally lower than in Germany.
Transport to/from aircraft and terminal is provided by airport staff or security; compulsory transport may add some waiting time. Car rental desks are located at the terminal exit; booking in advance is recommended for availability. Malmö city center is about 25 minutes away by taxi or Uber (around €40), with public buses also available. A hotel is located within a 4–5 minute walk from the terminal.
Facilities include a pilot briefing room with internet access, basic food options in the terminal, and tie-downs on concrete blocks (bring your own ropes). No dedicated GAT exists; all formalities are handled at the information desk in the main terminal. For customs or immigration services, arrangements can be made on request—see AIP/NOTAM for details.
The airport environment is relaxed but security checks can be thorough; allow extra time for these procedures. Malmö Sturup offers efficient service, good value for general aviation, and convenient access to both Malmö and Copenhagen via road or train.
