"Swedavia's airports play a central role in society, both by connecting us as a country and by linking us to the rest of the world. That contributes to growth, as well as our international competitiveness. This industry is also in a constant state of flux. I look forward to getting to know the company and to continue to develop Swedavia together - with courage, clarity, and a focus on our customers," says Mats Johannesson.
