CPHvia the Oresund Bridge - SeaportMalmö and Copenhagen
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.
