Obama’s visit closes Stockholm’s airspace

Due to the official visit of US President Barack Obama to Stockholm on Wednesday and Thursday this week, all of Stockholm’s airspace will be closed. The Swedish Transport Agency (CAA) has issued two temporary restricted areas in Stockholm; one outer area that comprises major parts of Stockholm TMA, and one inner area which includes an expanded part of Arlanda CTR and Bromma CTR and the area between the control zones. Both the zones will be effective between GND and FL180.

The outer zone can be accessed if certain exceptions are fulfilled, but activities like school flights, skydiving, aerial works, etc., are prohibited. Access to the inner zone is strictly prohibited (except for police, military, EMS/SAR and scheduled flights). The zones will be active between 4 SEP 0600Z and 5 SEP 1100Z. Please note that this information is subject to change, so make sure to check the latest NOTAMS for correct info.

The CAA has issued an AIP Supplement on the matter (ref. 37/2013). The document can be found through the link under the rough map below.

Please note that the map above is rough and imprecise, and it is only to be used as a non-flying reference.
