Private Jet Charter from Gothenburg
Gothenburg is Sweden's industrial west — Volvo Cars, Volvo Trucks (AB Volvo), AstraZeneca Mölndal and SKF all sit within 25 minutes of the airport — and its private jet traffic correlates tightly with the automotive and life-sciences calendars. Landvetter (GOT) handles all current jet operations after Säve (GSE) closed to scheduled GA in 2015; for executives that operation lost a 10-minute close-in option and added 25 minutes of road. Demand peaks around the Volvo Ocean Race weeks and AstraZeneca's quarterly cycles.

How long does GOT take from car to engine-start?
Typically 10–14 minutes for Schengen; 18–25 minutes for non-Schengen with customs declarations.
Can GOT handle a BBJ?
Yes — Landvetter's 3,300m runway accepts every business jet and most VIP airliner conversions without restriction.
