Gothenburg City Airport is a small airport with general aviation and today only one airline operate scheduled flights here (Ryanair).
The airport handles a large amount of Bizjets, VIP flights and occasional charter flights.
The main runway is 01/19 but there is a smaller runway available for general aviation 04/22.
This PDF file shows the airport, runways etc. http://aip.lfv.se/4AIP-AD/AD2/G-H/ES_AD_2_ESGP_en.pdf
Official Spotting Locations
Terminal
Inside the small terminal there is a cafe where you have pretty good view of the runways. Unfortunately the Ryanair flight parks too far left for a good view. You can also stand right outside the cafe for a good view through a fence.
Unofficial Spotting Locations
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.
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.
Touchdown Runway 19
There is a good spot on the right hand side of runway 19. Just walk next to the little knee-high fence until it ends, very close to the touchdown zone on runway 19.
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:
Or you can shoot them rotating off runway 19, like this:
Locations to Avoid
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!
Facilities and Transportation
There are buses runing from the Central station to the terminal.
