VIP Flights
Arlanda is also used by VIP-flights using business jets. Government officials and celebrities are frequent visitors. In April 2011 Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin visited Stockholm with a couple of large jet airplanes. The emperor of Japan has also made some visits with his Boeing 747s. EU-meetings and exhibitions in the Stockholm area also bring special flights to the airport. Various private companies use their business jets to attend meetings in the Stockholm area. Some VIP-flights also go to downtown Bromma but since Bromma has limited operational hours many go to Arlanda. European Flight Service has a Grumman Gulfstream G550 based at Arlanda for VIP flights.

Famous quotes containing the word flights:
“Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
