Vy Flygbussarna is launching Sweden’s first fully electric, commercially operated airport coach service in May 2025, connecting Stockholm City Terminal with Arlanda Airport.
The trial, which runs from May to October, represents a new step in the company’s ongoing focus on more sustainable public transport options.
The initiative builds on Vy Flygbussarna’s previous work in low-emission travel, which includes early adoption of alternative fuels such as rapeseed oil in 2008 and continued biofuel-based operations.
Zakaria Abna-Aissa, business area director for commercial bus traffic at Vy said:
We have long been pioneers in sustainable transport, from our rapeseed oil bus in 2008 to today’s biofuel operation. Now we are taking the next step. The electric bus to Arlanda is a concrete example of how we combine innovation, environmental responsibility and comfort
While electric buses are well established in city traffic, operating a longer, high-frequency airport route presents different demands. The service will cover around 40 kilometres each way and operate in a high-traffic corridor with tight turnaround schedules and varying weather conditions.
Vy Flygbussarna is introducing the line without public subsidy, relying instead on its own investment and operational capacity.
