## Description

Iron ore, not airfreight, drives the economy that Gällivare Airport (IATA: GEV, ICAO: ESNG) serves in Swedish Lapland — the LKAB mines around Malmberget ship their output by the Malmbanan rail line, not by air. The regional airport is served by PopulAir (formerly Amapola Flyg) under a Swedish state PSO contract running 2023–2027, with Fokker 50 flights to Stockholm Arlanda, usually via Kramfors. There is no dedicated cargo handling; only limited belly capacity is available on the passenger service. For genuine air-freight needs, forwarders route via Kiruna (KRN, approx. 80 km) or Luleå (LLA, approx. 120 km). GEV therefore matters as a passenger and supply link rather than a cargo gateway.
