Excerpt: Stockholm-Arlanda Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The airport was first used in 1959, but only for practice flights. In 1960, it opened for general traffic, and in 1962 the official opening ceremony took place. It was used for intercontinental traffic already in 1960 since the runway of Bromma was too short.
