Arvidsjaur Airport (IATA: AJR, ICAO: ESNX) is situated 13 km (8.1 mi) from Arvidsjaur town in Sweden and had 42,664 passengers in 2009.
The runway is longer than most in the northern interior of Sweden, and this allows international charter jet planes. This was a major reason winter car testing was established in the region around Arvidsjaur, now an important part of the local economy.
There are 2–3 flights to Stockholm per day. In the winter there are additional charter flights twice per week from Germany on behalf of major German car manufacturers, who perform snow and cold temperature testing in the Arvidsjaur region. Sometimes, tourists are permitted on these flights.
