Civil Aviation Administration (Sweden)

This article is about the defunct Swedish aviation authority. For the Finnish air navigation organization previously named Luftfartsverket, see Finavia. For the Valencia-based French international school with the acronym LFV, see Lycée Français de Valence.

The Swedish Civil Aviation Administration (Swedish: Luftfartsverket) is a Swedish Government agency which regulated and oversaw all aspects of aviation in Sweden until 2005.[citation needed] The regulatory division was called Luftfartsstyrelsen (Civil Aviation Authority).

The Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) (Flygtrafiktjänsten) was established as Luftfartsverket (LFV). The agency had its head office in Norrköping.[1]

In 2005 the regulatory division was separated to a new agency named Luftfartsstyrelsen, from 2009 part of Transportstyrelsen.

On 1 April 2010, the airport ownership and operation part of the Luftfartsverket was transferred to Swedish Airports (Swedavia AB), a newly formed fully state-owned company.[2]

Air navigation services continue as a state enterprise under the name LFV.[3]
