Oslo Airport

Oslo Airport, Gardermoen (Norwegian: Oslo lufthavn, Gardermoen) is the principal airport serving the Norwegian capital city of Oslo.
It is also the main international airport serving Norway, with flights to a large number of European airports, and some flights to other continents, including North America and Asia.
It is located at Gardermoen in the municipality of Ullensaker, 48 km (30 mi) northeast of Oslo.

Built as a military airfield, Gardermoen was enlarged and reopened in 1998 as a commercial airport.

More than 19 million passengers travelled through Oslo Airport in 2007, which is an increase of 1.3 million, or 7,8% since 2006. The airport has two parallel runways of 2950 m and 3600 m, 34 passenger bridges and 5 commuter stands, 64 check-in counters and 71 aircraft stands.

In addition to its international role, Gardermoen is a hub of Scandinavian Airlines and Norwegian Air Shuttle and a focus airport for Widerøe. The airport functions as a national hub, with a total of 25 domestic destinations, with 16 being served with jet aircraft. Seven are served on public service obligation contract with the Norwegian government using regional aircraft.

Sandefjord Airport, Torp also serves Oslo, primarily by low-cost carriers and regional airlines, though Torp is located more than twice the distance from the city as Gardermoen. In February 2008, a third airport, Rygge Air Station (non-military name: Moss Airport, Rygge) began serving private airlines as well.
