## Description

Jönköping Airport (IATA JKG, ICAO ESGJ) runs its own air freight terminal, approved by the Swedish transport authority and notable for being forwarder-neutral, one of only two such terminals in the country. Scheduled passenger flights ended in 2020 and the residual traffic of some 21,850 passengers in 2023 was almost entirely charter, so freight defines the field, about 8 km west of the city in Småland and still widely called Axamo. Roughly 3,070 tonnes of air cargo passed through in 2023, mostly on overnight freighters to Belgium, Denmark, Finland and Germany that anchor JKG in the northern European express network. Time:matters, FedEx, DanX and PostNord are among the operators active on site, and handling covers pallet and ULD build-up, dangerous goods, consolidation and import-export clearance for distribution across Sweden and Scandinavia. The catchment supports this: greater Jönköping and the Torsvik logistics area on the E4 motorway form one of Sweden's densest distribution clusters. Intercontinental shipments still move via Gothenburg Landvetter (GOT), about 122 km west, with Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) as the eastern alternative.
