Malmö Airport launches Remote Tower Centre (RTC)
Malmö Airport has successfully transitioned to remote air traffic control, managed from the Remote Tower Centre (RTC) in Stockholm. The first flight, BRA27C from Braathens Regional Airlines, took off today at 07:08 under this new system.
This change is part of an agreement signed in November 2017 between Swedavia and LFV, covering remote air traffic control for four Swedish airports: Kiruna, Åre Östersund, Umeå, and Malmö. With Malmö now connected to RTC Stockholm, all airports included in the agreement can be controlled remotely. To ensure a smooth transition, air traffic services will be alternated between Malmö and RTC Stockholm for a period.
