Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Swedish: Göteborg-Landvetter flygplats, (IATA: GOT, ICAO: ESGG)) is an international airport serving the Gothenburg region in Sweden. With 4.3 million passengers in 2006 [1] it is Sweden's second-largest airport (after Stockholm-Arlanda). It is operated by the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration (Luftfartsverket).

The airport is named after the small town of Landvetter, which is located in the municipality of Härryda. It is 20 km east of Gothenburg and 40 km west of Borås. Gothenburg's second international airport is Gothenburg City Airport. It traditionally has had two terminals, domestic and international, but they are now considered one single terminal. There is only one check-in area now, since all luggage has to be screened. The transfer area has several shops, cafes, and a restaurant. There is a hotel 500 metres from the terminal. The passenger departure and arrival functions are on one level. The domestic terminal area is on one side of the series of structure adjacent to the international departure area, which is adjacent to the international arrival area.

The airport was opened in 1977.[2] Passenger services, previously at Torslanda Airport[3], north of Gothenburg, were moved to Landvetter in 1977. Later, some budget airlines began serving the former military base in Säve, which was renamed from Säve Flygplats to Gothenburg City Airport.
