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.

“It is true that writers often owe their most inspired thoughts, their most extraordinary phrases, to their generous typesetters, who assist their flights of fancy with so-called typographical errors.”
