New passenger records in July

The number of international charter passengers showed strong growth in July (8.4%), and Oslo Airport has never before had this many charter passengers in a single month.

“We have reason to believe that the Norwegian summer has influenced travellers to seek sun and warmth,” says head of media relations at Oslo Airport, Vegar Gystad.

The number of passengers on international flights increased by 76 654 (6.2%), while domestic flights increased by 22 434 (3.1%) passengers. So far this year, the passenger increase has been 5.5%.

The number of aircraft movements in July was 17 857. This is an increase of 4.5% over July 2011.

Among the ten main routes, Oslo-Copenhagen and Oslo-Tromsø saw the largest increases of about 11%.
