## Description

Where the F1 wing was stationed at the Hässlö air base until 1983, low-cost jets and cargo charters depart today: Stockholm Västerås Airport (IATA: VST, ICAO: ESOW) on Lake Mälaren is one of the capital region's three airports, around 100 km west of Stockholm. Ryanair links Västerås with European destinations, and the field has also made a name for itself in the freight business with charter flights for DHL and Amazon Air. An aviation museum with historic aircraft recalls the site's military past. VST is an active cargo airport; the region's largest freight hub remains Stockholm Arlanda (IATA: ARN, approx. 100 km).
