Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT)

Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT) is the primary international airport serving western Sweden, situated approximately 25 kilometres east-southeast of Gothenburg city centre. The airport operates within a single integrated terminal building housing all domestic and international flights under one roof. It provides a compact, straightforward transit layout designed for efficient movement from gate to ground transport.

Terminals

Main Terminal
A single consolidated terminal handling all domestic, Schengen, and non-Schengen passenger arrivals and departures.

Arriving

Arriving passengers step into a unified terminal hall. Passengers arriving from non-Schengen destinations pass through passport control prior to entering the shared baggage reclaim and customs area.

  • Deplane into the central terminal corridor following marked overhead signage for Arrivals and Baggage Reclaim.
  • Non-Schengen arrivals must clear passport control conducted by the Swedish Police Authority before proceeding.
  • Schengen arrivals bypass passport control and walk directly into the baggage hall.
  • Collect checked luggage from the designated carousels in the main baggage area.
  • Pass through Swedish Customs (Tullverket): select the green channel if you have nothing to declare, or the red channel if carrying goods exceeding allowed limits or requiring declaration.
  • Exit into the public arrivals hall to access ground transportation options, car rental counters, and airport amenities.
