OSLO AIRPORT GARDERMOEN

Environmentally-friendly is hardly a suitable characterisation of a traffic facility designed for 17 million passengers per year. The new main airport at Gardermoen has been built from scratch, however, which has allowed it to be developed into an environmentally-adapted airport. The airport lies in an agricultural area with rural districts to the south and forests to the north. The geology, ground water and special natural environment make the area extremely important. Environmental adaptation means understanding the conditions of the area, and building and running the airport within the limits of what nature can tolerate in a way that offers minimum disturbance to local residents.

At Oslo Airport you will find a wide range of shops, restaurants and cafés and travel-related services at Oslo Airport - everything you need to make departures and arrivals as pleasant as possible. In the shops you can purchase a souvenir to have with you home from Oslo or make necessary purchases for your much longed-for holiday. You can dine at the cafes and restaurants before boarding or buy food that you can enjoy on the plane. There are plenty of opportunities to do banking or change your ticket at the airport. These are just some of the examples. Your convenience and comfort matter to us and we hope you will have a pleasant experience. Opening hours may vary, but the duty-free shop is open 24 hours.
