Distance & flight time from GSE

Säve Airport

GSE is Säve Airport, located northwest of Göteborg, Sweden, on a site that once served as Gothenburg's primary civilian airport before commercial operations shifted to Landvetter. Today Säve functions mainly for general aviation, business jets, flight training, and occasional cargo or charter flights. The airfield retains Cold War-era infrastructure from its earlier military use by the Swedish Air Force, including a long runway originally built for interceptor jets. GSE has periodically been discussed as a site for expanded commercial or logistics use given its proximity to Gothenburg's port and industrial areas. It remains a quieter, lower-traffic alternative within the Göteborg region's aviation landscape.
