ACR Commences Provision of ATS and MET Services at Arvidsjaur Airport on 1 April 2026
Stockholm, Sweden — ACR Aviation Capacity Resources AB (ACR) commenced the provision of Air Traffic Services (ATS) and Meteorological Services (MET) at Arvidsjaur Airport (AJR) on 1 April 2026. This transition marks a milestone for the company, as Arvidsjaur becomes ACR’s 19th operational unit and the first airport where ACR will provide both Air Traffic Control (ATC) and Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS) within the same unit.
The choice between ATC and AFIS at Arvidsjaur will be based on traffic complexity, traffic intensity, and any specific requirements from operators. Through this flexible approach, ACR continues to strengthen its commitment to safe, efficient, and tailored air traffic management across regional airports in Sweden.
Furthermore, ACR will commence the provision of Communication and Navigation (CN) services at Arvidsjaur Airport on 1 June 2026. This will be the company’s first CN unit since receiving certification for Communication and Navigation Services in 2025, marking another important step in broadening ACR’s service portfolio.
Arvidsjaur Airport (AJR) serves a region that hosts some of the world’s leading winter testing facilities for European and Asian car manufacturers, as well as tyre and automotive component suppliers. The airport features a 2,500‑meter runway capable of accommodating larger aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, and has become an important gateway for tourism, particularly during the winter season when demand for Arctic travel and Northern Lights experiences increases.
The winter season is the airport’s busiest period, with frequent corporate jet traffic and direct commercial flights to major German cities including Munich, Stuttgart, Cologne, Frankfurt, and Berlin. A year‑round scheduled route to Stockholm Arlanda is operated by PopulAir.
ACR and Arvidsjaur Airport have a long‑standing relationship, with the first contact between the parties established as early as 2004.
“We are proud to deepen our cooperation with Arvidsjaur Airport and to expand our service offering in a way that provides clear operational benefits for the region’s aviation stakeholders. The combination of ATC, AFIS, MET, and soon CN services underscores ACR’s commitment to innovation, safety, and sustainable air traffic management for regional airports across Sweden,”
Arne Stokke, Co‑founder of ACR Aviation Capacity Resources AB.
With these transitions, ACR further strengthens its position as Sweden’s leading independent provider of air traffic services, supporting regional accessibility and contributing to long‑term aviation safety and development.
