Linköping City Airport (LPI) is a small airport on Saab's site with limited cargo, so most air freight from Linköping is routed via Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) or Gothenburg Landvetter, both reached by road. Stockholm Skavsta (NYO) near Nyköping is another nearby option. For sea freight, the Port of Norrköping is close by and handles containers and bulk, while Gothenburg serves deep-sea services.
The E4 motorway links Linköping with Norrköping and Stockholm to the north and Jönköping to the south. The Southern Main Line railway runs through Linköping, and Road 34 and 35 serve the surrounding region. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Linköping, Norrköping and Östergötland.

Industries in Linköping and how we support them
Linköping is Sweden's centre for aerospace and defence. Saab develops and manufactures military aircraft here, including the Gripen, and a network of suppliers supports aerospace and defence programmes. The city also has a strong IT sector around Mjärdevi Science Park and Linköping University. Many products are export-controlled and need careful handling. Ziem Logistics supports these supply chains with air freight via Arlanda or Landvetter under our own air waybills, Next Flight Out and On-Board Courier for critical parts, sea freight via Norrköping or Gothenburg, and in-house customs clearance with close attention to export controls.
Time-critical air freight in Linköping
For time-critical shipments we compare two options: Next Flight Out via Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) on the first suitable flight, or an On-Board Courier who hand-carries the goods to the Linköping area. In both cases the customs entries are prepared in advance.
