When the decision to introduce preclearance was initially introduced, I had the impression that Swedavia thought that it would improve U.S. bound connections from ARN. In my opinion, that was an unrealistic view, as preclearance is very time-consuming. Preclearance can only be beneficial for nonstop passengers, or for passengers with connections in the U.S. But it comes at a high cost, and it was very unrealistic to think that Norwegian, with their huge losses on intercontinental flights, would be able to bear such costs. So, the whole preclearance thing was a Swedavia pipe dream from the very start.
