Stockholm Västerås Airport
Stockholm Västerås Airport, designated VST, sits just outside Västerås, an industrial city on the shores of Lake Mälaren roughly a hundred kilometers west of central Stockholm. Long referred to locally as Hässlö after the district where it sits, the airport developed as an alternative gateway to the Swedish capital region, offering shorter check-in lines and easier road access than Stockholm's larger airports. VST has at various points hosted low-cost carrier service linking Västerås to destinations across Europe, positioning it as a budget-friendly option for travelers willing to make the onward trip into Stockholm by bus or train. Västerås itself has a long industrial heritage tied to electrical engineering and manufacturing, and the airport has also supported general aviation, flight training, and business travel connected to that local economy over many decades.
