It is the fifth-busiest airport in Sweden, although only Ryanair and Wizz Air offer flights to and from the airport. There are currently on offer direct flights to 45 European destinations.

How to get to get from Skavsta Airport to Stockholm
Airport shuttle bus
There is an airport bus Flygbussarna Airport Coaches operating to and from the airport. The route Skavsta – Stockholm Cityterminalen takes you right next to the central train station in Stockholm, you can purchase your tickets on company’s website or app for the best prices, but also at the ticket desks and vending machines at the airport. In last case the price is 139 SEK (~13 €) for one way and 278 SEK (27 €) for a return ticket. Buses depart hourly and the journey takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
From the airport you can also directly get to Södertälje, Linköping and Norrköping.
Bus & Train
Since the airport is pretty far from the center of Stockholm, you will have to combine 2 means of transport in order to get to the city.
To get to the center of Stockholm, the first thing is to take a local bus no. 515 which will take you to the railway station of Nyköping. From there, you will need to take a train to Stockholm which runs once per hour. You can buy a combined ticket (for both bus and train) which will cost you around 100 SEK (~10 €) if buying in advance. It is also possible to buy separate tickets at the airport, but that will cost you more. Also, it is always cheaper to buy the tickets via app or at the airport instead of on board. In last case, cash is not allowed. The total journey could take approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
NOTE: While in Stockholm, you can make Stockholm City Pass, a sightseeing card which allows you to save some money while exploring Stockholm. Check the detailed information here.
Taxi service
If you would like to avoid the crowded public transport, consider taking a taxi but have in mind that this is the most expensive option. Regular price from the airport to Stockholm center is around 1500 SEK (160 €), and the journey takes around 70 minutes. You will find a taxi rank of various companies right in front of the terminal.
Transfer
If neither public transport nor taxi services are viable options for you, consider booking a private transfer online. We recommend you do this in advance so that your driver can already be waiting for you in front of the airport when you arrive.
