At a press conference, investigator Peter Norman reports on the assignment, which has been ongoing since February. Minister of Infrastructure Tomas Eneroth (S) is also present at the press conference.
Norman’s investigation was launched less than six months after the former presented its proposals. It had had four months to find out what needs to be done in and around Arlanda to develop the airport and the conditions for Arlanda to take over the operations that currently exist in Bromma.
On that basis, the government could then quickly make a decision to start a closure of Bromma. Investigator Magnus Persson estimated that the government could make a decision on this as early as 2022 and a phase-out would then be made in three to five years.
But a majority in the Riksdag, led by the Moderates, protested loudly and promised to tear up a decision to close down in the event of a change of power. The government must beware of hasty decisions in the middle of a pandemic, was a heavy message.
