Can I fly to sweden from germany with just a residence permit and no passport ? (since that would be under the visa processing )
If it helps I am taking the air-berlin airlines.
Any information is much appreciated.
Thanks,

As a matter of practice, as a non-EU/non-EEA citizen, I've flown between Germany and Sweden (or Denmark when heading to southern Sweden) multiple times on non-stop flights to/from TXL where my (US) passport was not checked by anyone. When there is a check, they'd want to see your passport.
With carry-on only, self check-in, the chances of your passport being checked by the airline or anyone else drops tremendously -- and in my dozens of flights between TXL to ARN/CPH in recent months, zero passport checks as a carry-on bags passenger who did self-check-in and did print my own boarding pass or used the Air Berlin mobile phone app.
My European residence allowances/cards haven't generally been sufficient for flying purposes when someone has wanted to check the travel documentation requirements and asked me for a passport. YMMV.
