Ground transportation

A coach service is operated by Let's Go By Bus Örebro between the airport and Örebro Central, with services timed to coincide with the Ryanair flights to and from London-Stansted on Fridays and Sundays. Tickets can be bought on the bus or on the FlixBus website.[10] The nearest public bus stop, (about 2 km away) has services to and from the centre of Örebro. It is served by bus 620 on weekdays and bus 600 at weekends.[11] Other transport alternatives will likely involve a car or taxi. Most flights are tourist charter which attracts child families who mostly use their car for transport. There are many parking spaces, which have a fee.
