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.
