Malmö Airport (MMX) at Sturup, east of the city, is a smaller airport with some cargo traffic. Much of the region's air freight therefore uses Copenhagen Airport (CPH) in Denmark, Scandinavia's largest airport, reached across the Öresund Bridge. For sea freight, Copenhagen Malmö Port operates terminals on both sides of the Öresund, and the Port of Gothenburg handles deep-sea container services for southern Sweden. Ferry ports at Trelleborg and Ystad link Skåne with Germany and Poland.
The Öresund Bridge carries both road and rail traffic between Malmö and Copenhagen. The E6 runs north along the coast towards Helsingborg and Gothenburg, the E22 leads east towards Kristianstad, and the E65 connects Malmö with Ystad. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Malmö, Lund, Helsingborg and the rest of Skåne.

Frequently asked questions
Do you use Malmö Airport or Copenhagen for air freight?
Most air freight from the Malmö area flies from Copenhagen (CPH), which offers far more routes and capacity. Malmö (MMX) is used for selected shipments. Air freight runs under our own air waybills, and we confirm cut-off times with every booking.
Can you ship clinical samples from Medicon Valley?
Yes. We agree packaging, temperature range and any dangerous-goods classification with you, then book airlines that accept the material, or an On-Board Courier for samples that must stay hand-carried.
Do you collect across Skåne?
Yes. We arrange pick-up across Skåne, including Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg, and truck freight to Copenhagen, Malmö or another departure airport as the routing requires.
