The Local
An environmental review has determined that the military airport, Ärna, in Uppsala is suitable for commercial use. This means that low-cost carriers may begin offering flights from there. It would have been amazing if this airport had been open when I was there. It's less than 10 km from the dorm I stayed in. I could have biked to the airport.
The plan may not come to fruition as the Social Democrats and Greens, who are currently in opposition in the regional government, are saying they will reject the plans if they win this year's election. Uppsala is "conservative" (as much as any region in Sweden can be considered such), so it's unlikely they'll win, but they are polling well, so we'll see what happens.
