It started to be used for international traffic the year after, and the main domestic and international terminals were renumbered into 4 and 5. In 1992 the terminal 2 was partly abandoned because of traffic decrease. In 1990 two new domestic terminals called "Domestic 2 and 3" were built south of the first domestic terminal. In 1983 the domestic traffic operated by Linjeflyg moved from Bromma to Arlanda, using the terminal now known as Terminal 4. The rest of domestic traffic operated out of Bromma and all international traffic out of Arlanda. Domestic flights to Gothenburg, Malmö, Luleå and Kiruna were operated by SAS DC-9s from Arlanda since they were considered too noisy to be used at downtown Bromma. The Boeing 747 jumbojet started to be used in the 1970s, both on one-stop scheduled flights to New York and on weekend nonstop charters to the Canary Islands. The 1960s and 1970s saw increases in traffic with scheduled traffic and charter traffic. The '-a' was added in analogy with other Swedish place names ending with -landa and also plays on the Swedish verb "landa", which means "to land". It is derived from Arland, an old name for the parish Ärlinghundra (now Husby-Ärlinghundra in Märsta) where the airport is situated. The name Arlanda was decided after a competition prior to the airport opening. The airport was also used very early by Pan American World Airways. Scandinavian Airlines started using Douglas DC-8s on North American routes. It was used from the start for intercontinental traffic because the runway at Bromma was too short. It opened for limited civil traffic in 1960, and in 1962 the official opening ceremony took place. The airport was first used in 1959 but only for practice flights.
King Gustaf VI Adolf presiding over the ceremony which officially inaugurated Stockholm–Arlanda Airport (1 April 1962) Stockholm Arlanda serves as a major hub for Scandinavian Airlines and Norwegian Air Shuttle. The smaller airports Stockholm-Skavsta and Stockholm-Västerås are both located around 100 kilometres (60 mi) away from the Swedish capital. The other, Stockholm–Bromma, is located north-west of the city's centre but can be used only by a small number of smaller aircraft. Stockholm Arlanda Airport is the larger of Stockholm's two airports. Arlanda Airport was used by close to 27 million passengers in 2017, with 21.2 million international passengers and 5.5 million domestic. The airport is the major gateway to international air travel for large parts of Sweden. It is the largest airport in Sweden and the third-largest airport in the Nordic countries. The airport is located within Stockholm County and the province of Uppland. Stockholm Arlanda Airport ( IATA: ARN, ICAO: ESSA) is an international airport located in the Sigtuna Municipality of Sweden, near the town of Märsta, 37 kilometres (23 mi) north of Stockholm and nearly 40 kilometres (25 mi) south-east of Uppsala.
