Oslo Airport notes slight decline
A total of 1,603,822 passengers travelled to or from Oslo Airport in January. This is 1.8 per cent lower than the same month last year.
International scheduled traffic to and from Oslo Airport rose by 2.3 per cent, while there was a substantial decline in the number of charter passengers. Overall, this translated into an unchanged number of passengers in international travel. Domestic traffic dropped by 3.7 per cent.
“There was an increase in new international routes and some routes saw capacity growth, such as Dubai, Frankfurt, Orlando and Madrid. At the same time, cutbacks in the oil industry may have contributed to the major decline we’ve seen in the route to Stavanger,” says Managing Director Øyvind Hasaas.
“Our objective is to increase capacity and route options at Oslo Airport, and we hope this can help curb or reverse the negative trend we saw in January,” he concludes.
The number of aircraft movements at Oslo Airport dropped by 7.3 per cent.
