the military presence is a museum called Aeroseum, preserving various fighter jets and displaying military aircraft history. Closure for airline service On 26 November 2014 the airport had to ban all heavier aircraft, such as the Boeing 737, because the taxiway was not rated to carry heavy aircraft. This meant that all flights operated by Ryanair, Wizz Air and Gotlandsflyg were diverted to Landvetter Airport. The lighter aircraft flown by Sparrow Aviation were allowed to fly after a ban of one day. In the early days following the ban, most passengers still cleared security at Gothenburg City Airport before being transferred by bus. Later all check-in was done at Landvetter Airport for diverted flights. Initial plans were for the airport to remain closed to heavy aircraft until at least the end of January 2015. However, on 13 January 2015, the decision was published to close the airport permanently to passenger traffic, owing to the high cost of fixing the runway/taxiway problem. Sparrow Aviation, using lighter aircraft, continued to use City Airport until 18 January 2015. The airport was kept open until the end of 2015 in the hope of attracting a possible buyer who could agree to Swedavia's conditions and ensure a long-term plan. In May 2016, it was announced that a motorsport circuit would be built at the Säve Airport, intended to host Scandinavian Touring Car Championship races. Somehow this did not come to fruition so far (2021), while the airfield itself is not closed but still open for general aviation, home of two aeroclubs and a commercial flight school as well as police and ambulance helicopters. In 2019, Heart Aerospace]established a presence at the airport. Airlines and destinations Owing to the aforementioned issues, there is no longer any passenger traffic scheduled. All airlines relocated to Göteborg Landvetter Airport, except Sparrow Aviation which terminated its Gothenburg-Stockholm Bromma Airport flights.
