Ground transport
The distance to Pajala is 15 km. Taxi and rental cars are available. The bus no 46 Gällivare-Pajala stops at the main road near the airport, however only twice per day.
History
The airport was opened for regular traffic in 1999. Pajala was then said to be the most inaccessible municipality centre in Sweden, with around 5 hours travel time from central Stockholm (with flight to Gällivare airport, hand luggage only, and car Gällivare-Pajala).
The runway was extended with 880 meters to 2300 m in 2007, to be able to have larger charter aircraft.[1][2]
