Malmö Airport (MMX/ESMS)

• Malmö Airport is a preferred airport in the catchment area due to it being a low cost, fast and flexible airport offering personal and individual service to our passengers. Passengers at Malmö Airport make about 525,000 annual trips out of CPH due to the required destinations not being available at Malmö Airport.
• Due to the strong business climate in South Sweden, there is low unemployment and with the large financial growth in the region, as well as the many multi-national companies, a significant proportion of the population is very well off.
• South Sweden as a whole is a growing region. More and more head offices and businesses are being moved into the region, which dealt well with the recent economic recession. There are currently 3,000 started and planned construction projects for apartments, student housing, a handful of hotels and office space – allowing even more people to move to and work in this expanding region.
