The site of Scandinavian Mountains Airport was previously home to a much smaller private airport. The old runway has been extended to 2 500 metres and a mountain air traffic control tower has been built. The terminal building has the capacity to handle four flights at a time and includes a restaurant, duty-free shopping and car hire.
