Stockholm Bromma Airport (IATA: BMA, ICAO: ESSB), officially known as Bromma Stockholm Airport, is an airport located in the Bromma district of Stockholm, Sweden.

Situated approximately 7 km[4] (4.3 mi) northwest of central Stockholm, Bromma Airport is the closest airport to the city compared to the other commercial airports serving the Stockholm Metropolitan Area (IATA airport code STO) including Arlanda, Skavsta, and Västerås.

Opened on 13 May 1936 by King Gustaf V, it was the first airport in Europe to be built with paved runways.[5] As of 2023, Bromma Airport was Sweden's fourth-busiest airport by passenger traffic,[6] primarily serving domestic routes while also accommodating some minor international flights.

The airport's predominant operator, Braathens Regional Airlines (BRA), which offers flights to various destinations across Sweden including Gothenburg, Malmö, Umeå, and Visby, will cease operations from Bromma in late 2024.[7] Other airlines such as Finnair also operate limited international services.[8]

Stockholm Bromma Airport is located on land owned by the City of Stockholm. The airport is operated by Swedavia, a state-owned company, under a lease agreement with the city which is set to last until 2038.[9]
