+Gothenburg City Airport is a small airport with general aviation. <br />
+The airport handles a large amount of Bizjets, VIP flights. '''Until November 2014 it also had a fair amount of Ryanair and Wizzair flights. They are now all moved to the nearby Landvetter Airport (GOT)'''.<br />
+The main runway is 01/19, and in the past there was a shorter runway for general aviation 04/22 which is closed now.<br />
+This PDF file shows the airport, runways etc. ''https://www.aro.lfv.se/Editorial/View/1660/ES_AD_2_ESGP_2-1_en''
 ==Official Spotting Locations==
-===Location===
+===Terminal===
+Inside the small terminal there is a cafe where you have pretty good view of the runways. You can also stand right outside the cafe for a good view through a fence.<br />
+This is taken from the veranda on the roof, just above the café.
+{{anetlink|881226}}
+And this is shot through the fence on the left hand side of the terminal.

+==Other Spotting Locations==
+===GA Area===
+Beside the terminal, there's a flight school and behind this is the GA area. Not much happens here, although occasionally you'll be able to get a nice head-on shot of a prop:

+===End of Runway 19===
+If you drive or walk from the terminal towards the threshold of runway 19, keep going 100 meters after passing the runway. There is a small road leading up on your left. <br>This will take you to the approach lights and a great view of the runway and terminal. You can be aligned with the runway under the approach lights and get good shots.<br />
+{{anetlink|848361}}
+===Touchdown Runway 19===
+There is a good spot on the right hand side of runway 19. Just walk next to the fence until it ends, very close to the touchdown zone on runway 19.
+The light is best in the afternoon at summertime for photography.
+===Security Gates===
+Just left of the terminal there is a big gate with fair space in between so you can get a good shot of taxying aircraft.

+===Alleby Runway 01===
+If you drive towards Alleby there is a Riding ground for horses. Just next to that is the threshold for runway 01.
+Either you can shoot them on approach, like this:<br />

-==Unofficial Spotting Locations==
+Or you can shoot them rotating off runway 19, like this:

-===Location===
+Also possible, although a little walk is needed, is to shoot them from the rugged terrain on the right side of approaching traffic:

 ==Locations to Avoid==
-===Location===
+===End of Runway 19===
+This spot is excellent, but security can chase you off here as you are only within 5-10 meters from the active runway.
+But you can get away with it, and get GREAT shots!

+==Regular Traffic==
+Currently the following airlines are operating into GSE:
+*'''Ryanair''' No longer operates into GSE - Moved to GOT-ESGG.
+*'''WizzAir''' No longer operates into GSE - Moved to GOT-ESGG.
+*'''Air Berlin''' No longer operates into GSE - Moved to GOT-ESGG.
 ==Facilities and Transportation==
+There is a busline from the '''Central station''' to the airport.
+From Central station, take '''bus number 25''' to Skra Bro. Switch bus to '''number 36''' there and
+continue to '''Askesby'''. <br />Askesby is close to runway 19 and is only a 15 minute walk to the terminal.
