Malmö Sturup Airport (MMX/ESMS) is southern Sweden's primary international airport, located about 30 km east of Malmö in the Skåne region. It opened in 1972 to replace Malmö Bulltofta Airport and is now operated by Swedavia, handling domestic scheduled flights, charter traffic, and seasonal international routes. Compact and easy to navigate, it often serves as an alternative gateway to Copenhagen for travellers in the Öresund area.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the terminal is small enough that security is usually quick, but late-evening arrivals can have limited bus service—check the last Flygbussarna departure before booking a late flight, or pre-book a taxi if you land after the coaches stop.
🚖 Getting There
The most practical public transport is the airport coach (Flygbussarna) to Malmö Central station, with some services also linking to Lund and Copenhagen; journey time to Malmö is around 40–45 minutes. Taxis and rental cars are available outside the terminal, and driving to central Malmö takes about 30–40 minutes via the E65/E20. If you are heading to Copenhagen, compare the total travel time and cost with using Copenhagen Airport (CPH), since the cross-border trip can take over an hour.
