**Breaking News: Swedavia Falsely Claims Diversion of Ambulance Flight in Climate Action Incident**
Published: 2023-10-14 17.24
State-owned Swedavia has come under fire after falsely claiming that it had been forced to redirect an arriving ambulance flight in connection with a climate action protest at Bromma Airport in Stockholm. Swedish newspaper ETC reports that no air ambulance was ever involved in the incident.
The controversy stems from a mid-September climate action carried out by activists at Bromma Airport. Swedavia initially claimed that the protest had resulted in an ambulance flight being redirected to Arlanda Airport instead. This claim was widely reported by both Swedish and international media.
However, a review conducted by ETC has revealed that there was no ambulance flight registered during the time of the incident. ETC reached out to Region Stockholm, which confirmed that no such flight was recorded.
In addition, ETC investigated air traffic data in the area and found no evidence of any arriving ambulance flights to Bromma. The only plane that was diverted in connection with the incident was a private plane from London, which had no passengers on board.
Despite these findings, Swedavia has remained silent and chosen not to comment on ETC’s revelations. The state-owned airport operator has faced criticism for spreading misinformation and manipulating facts to support its climate action narrative.
The incident has further heightened concerns about the transparency and credibility of Swedavia’s communication. It raises questions about whether the company is prioritizing its climate agenda over providing accurate information to the public.
In total, 17 individuals were arrested in connection with the campaign at Bromma Airport. The activists aimed to draw attention to the environmental impact of air travel and the need for sustainable alternatives.
As this controversy unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible reporting and fact-checking in the face of sensationalized claims. The credibility of institutions and their messaging is crucial, especially when dealing with pressing matters such as climate action.
FullscreenETC will continue to monitor the developments surrounding this incident and provide updates as more information becomes available.
