History

In 1931 the area started to be used as a military airbase. In 1976 the airport, bought by the city, started to be used for civilian flights, the first route was by Scandinavian Airlines to Copenhagen.

In 2001, Ryanair started flights, the first route led to London-Stansted. In 2006 Ryanair left the airport, but returned again in 2007. The same year Scandinavian Airlines ended their flights from Västerås. The airport also played an important role during the 2014 Västmanland wildfire, serving as a base for water bombers and rescue helicopters.

On 13 May 2020, the Västerås city council decided to close down the airport. The airport company should end all activities no later than 31 December 2022. This is due to annual losses and need for annual financing from the city, worsened by the coronavirus outbreak.[2] However, a local referendum was held on the matter on 21 March 2021, with the result that scheduled air traffic shall not end.[3]
