Sweden Airspace is divided into two Flight Information Regions (FIR's). At and above FL285, this is known as the Upper Flight Information Region and below FL285, it is known as the Lower Flight Information region.

Classification of Airspace

The classification of airspace determines which flight rules apply and the minimum services that are to be provided in that airspace. There are 7 types of airspace in Sweden; A to G, A being the most restrictive and G being the least restrictive.

All aircraft are separated from each other

VFR flights are not permitted in Class A airspace - Special VFR is permitted in Class A Control Zones.

There is currently no Class A airspace located within Sweden.

Class B:

IFR and VFR
ATC Clearance before entry

All aircraft are separated from each other

There is currently no Class B airspace located within Sweden.

Class C:

Comply with ATC Instructions
IFR flights separated from other IFR and VFR flights
VFR flights separated from IFR flights
