The police closed the road to terminal 5 at Arlanda outside Stockholm for about three hours on Saturday morning. According to the Swedish Transport Administration, the reason was long queues and a lot of people on their way to the airport.
Around 08.00, the traffic returned to normal.
It writes Today’s news.
– They think that there are too many people at the terminal and outside with cars, said duty officer Pontus Sandulf in the Stockholm police region to the newspaper.
According to Swedavia’s press office, traffic was diverted to terminals 2 and 4. This also applied to taxis and buses.
– There are many passengers at Arlanda this morning. Which means that it is crowded at terminal 5. There are many who want to check in at the same time and many who are there in very good time, which means that there are waiting times at check-in and at the security checks, David Karlsson in Swedavia told the newspaper.
To handle the large number of passengers, some incoming traffic was redirected to terminals 2 and 4 to reduce the load on terminal 5.
The problems thus continue at Arlanda. Recently, there have been long queues at the airport due to lack of personnel.
By last Saturday, people were denied access to the airport.
