Domestic. Angry consultation responses continue to flow into the government's memorandum “Bromma airport – basis for discontinuation of operations and operations”. Now the heavy-handed agency Transportföretagen compares the closure plans with the closure of the E4 and warns that police and ambulance flights could be hit hard. However, crime may benefit.

Transport companies are very critical of the plans for closure and warn that the government is trying to use the pandemic as a reason for hasty decisions on the abolition of significant transport infrastructure.
– Of course, it is possible to decommission an airport just as it is possible to decommission other important transport infrastructure such as the E4 between Stockholm and Uppsala or Ölandsbron, says Fredrik Kämpfe, industry manager for Transportföretagen Flyg.
However, a solid impact assessment and investigation, and the government has not performed that, according to the organization. meaningful to answer the question of, how and when the said infrastructure can be phased out, says Kämpfe.
In the consultation response, Transportföretagen rejects the government's decommissioning proposal in its entirety. An early closure of Bromma based on the government's report would have “negative consequences for accessibility throughout the country and the possibility of attracting competent staff to new climate-positive innovative companies”, according to the consultation response.
The Government's investigation does not convincingly show how Arlanda Airport's capacity would be sufficient to not adversely affect traffic in the event of a premature closure of Bromma, according to Transportföretagen, which also points out that there are no answers about the socially important flight at Bromma, such as ambulance and helicopter traffic. “
” There is no capacity for any further socially important helicopter traffic at Arlanda according to the Government Offices' memorandum. Measures are required here so that a decision on decommissioning does not lead to worse conditions for police operations in Stockholm, “the memorandum states. .
The closure of Bromma therefore risks facilitating crime, and it could run counter to the line launched by Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson that all ministries should “turn every stone” to fight crime, according to the consultation response.
The Government's memorandum states for the ambulance flight that transhipment of patients would take place during worse conditions with risk to patients' health if the business is moved from Bromma to Arlanda. Something that Transportföretagen agrees with and regrets.
