Swedavia is making significant future-oriented investments in recruitment at Sweden’s largest airports, Arlanda and Landvetter, to ensure the long-term connectivity of Sweden. A diverse range of employment opportunities, both permanent and seasonal, are available, featuring various employers and occupations. Swedavia, along with several partners, organized two highly successful recruitment days on January 12 and 17, drawing immense interest with over 3,500 attendees in total.
The recruitment event witnessed a surge in applications, highlighting the considerable enthusiasm of participants seeking opportunities at Arlanda and Landvetter airports. Collaborating with a multitude of airport employers, Swedavia facilitated open recruitment days, attracting 30 companies at Stockholm Arlanda and nearly 20 companies at Landvetter in mid-January. The partners, operating at these airports, contributed to the success of the recruitment days.
“Of course, it is very gratifying to see the strong response and tremendous interest in working at our airports, with so many job seekers of different ages, who chose to visit our very well-attended recruitment days in January. We can certainly say that the two days were very successful, with a total of several thousand visitors, and we and our partners hope, of course, that the opportunity to meet with us will lead to a number of new colleagues with new jobs at our airports. We and a large number of our partners are looking for a number of new employees in a wide variety of professions, both during the summer season and in permanent positions, in order to ensure Sweden’s long-term connectivity at our airports as much as we can,” says Marie Wiksborg, Director of Business Support at Swedavia.
Currently, numerous vacancies are available across a diverse range of occupations and employers at both airports, encompassing roles such as operational airport employees, security control staff, airline and ground handling personnel, as well as positions in cafes, restaurants, and IT. Anticipating more than 500 vacancies in the coming years, Swedavia, along with its partners, is actively contributing to employment opportunities in the aviation sector.
Several companies at Arlanda and Landvetter airports, actively seeking new employees, outline the significant recruitment initiative in the following manner:
“At Avarn Arlanda, we had a successful recruitment day filled with productive meetings with interesting candidates. It was a great day!” says Yazdan Gilani, Head of Department and Security Officer, Avarn Security Aviation.
”Swedavia’s large recruitment day during 2025 will be the border police’s key acitvity to secure the needed growth of new employees”, says Tor Hiis, responsible for recruitment at the border police in Sweden, Region Stockholm.
“It was a successful day with a lot of attendees and productive meetings. It was great to see so much interest in working with SAS’s ground handling services at Stockholm Arlanda. I hope that the recruitment day will result in many good applications,” says Angela Jansson, Head of Recruitment and Skills Development at SAS Ground Handling.
“What a productive day! We met so many wonderful potential future colleagues who asked good questions about what it’s like to work at Arlanda and what kind of jobs we can offer as a company. There was a great deal of interest in working in our service positions, and with our fantastic combination of food, drink and service, we felt that the visitors showed us a high level of engagement and interest. We hope to welcome many new colleagues now, and especially this summer!”, says Pia Axelsson, People Director at SSP Sweden.
“We are in an expansion phase at Arlanda, where we plan to hire nearly 120 new employees on an ongoing basis until the summer. The recruitment event was a great opportunity for us to showcase our operation, answer questions and connect with a large number of promising candidates. The day resulted in a large number of applications and we have already scheduled interviews with a number of attendees who visited our stand. A very successful event!, says Mikael Johansson, Station Manager at Aviator.
“The Recruitment Day at Göteborg Landvetter is an important day for us as we are constantly on the lookout for new, talented colleagues. This year’s event was very successful and we received over 40 applications, many of which went on to the next stage of the process, so it paid off immediately, which is great,” says Jennie Weimén, Recruitment Manager at Landvetter Airport, Securitas.
