Sweden is a knowledge-intensive country, with universities, professional schools and specialist companies that are dependent on good transport services for exchanges of knowledge and experience with other countries. Another example is sports. To be one of the best, you have to compete with the best and be able to fly to a competition − regardless of where in the world it takes place.
World-wide cultural exchanges
Air travel also creates opportunities for cultural exchanges and new experiences. The 167 destinations that Stockholm Arlanda Airport offers − in Sweden, in the rest of Europe and on other continents − are thus important for both intellectual and economic growth as well as greater well-being.
