"Peder Grunditz has made a significant contribution to Swedavia's development over the years. He has been a member of the executive management team since the company was founded and, with his expertise and compassionate leadership, he has played a major role in making Swedavia the company it is today. I would like to thank Peder for his contributions to the company and wish him the best of luck in the future," says Jonas Abrahamsson.
