“Norway’s generally healthy economic situation combined with attractive flight services from airlines and the general wanderlust of Norwegians have made this a banner year,” says Oslo Airport Managing Director Nic. Nilsen, adding:
“Demand for good routes is huge, and it is of course gratifying that we can offer travellers almost 170 direct routes. In 2013, Norwegian also opened intercontinental routes to the US and Asia, with even more to come in 2014. This is a welcome development,” he says.
Goody punctualit
In 2013, overall punctuality at Oslo Airport was 85 per cent, while regularity was 98.7 per cent.
“We are satisfied with our punctuality in a year in which we experienced significant passenger growth while we are simultaneously in the midst of one of the most hectic periods of our terminal expansion project. The fact that traffic flowed as well as it did is thanks to the hard work of everyone involved at Oslo Airport,” concludes Nilsen.
