I will do everything to ensure that the terminal development will be completed on time and within the budgetary constraints, and with the least possible disruption for the users of Oslo Airport during the construction period. I also look forward to cooperating with Avinor employees and other partners to the benefit of the passengers,” says Øyvind Hasaas.
