Construction of the airport
Until 1972 the main airport in the region was Bullfort. But in the 1960s there was a need for a new airport: Bullfort was very close to residential areas, and the residents were very unhappy, they constantly protested because of the noise and pollution of the environment. Construction lasted 2 years, from 1970 to 1972. As a result, Bullfort airport was closed. The Air Control Service remained there for several years, but then they also moved to Malmö Airport.
