Gardermoen is in day number two among Scandinavia’s main airports in size, behind the Kastrup in Copenhagen, but in front of the Arlanda at Stockholm.
last year, lost the Airport passengers facing both of their competitors: Kastrup had a growth that was 2 million larger than Oslo, with Stockholm cut the distance to the Airport from the rear.
Thus we can get a situation we haven’t seen since the years when Fornebu was the main airport in Oslo, namely the oslo airport Gardermoen is the least of the three.
– Oslo Airport are in a pressure situation and you have a problem with having the clear least trafikkpotensialet of all three cities, believes the Norwegian luftfartsrådgiveren Einar Sorensen, who for many years worked closely together with the european aeronautical in France.
Not since the airport was called Fornebu
We don’t need more than a couple of decades back before Kastrup was the giant among the scandinavian airports, and we norwegians have to mellomlande in Copenhagen, even on short European flights.
After the turn of the millennium changed much and the Norwegian oil lubricated the growth was in several years so severe that the Airport in a few individual months have had higher passasjertall than big brother Kastrup.
Stockholm was overtaken in size in 2006.
Now has the arrows reversed again:
the Figures for the three airports for 2016 shows that the Airport is the big loser, even with a growth of 4.5 per cent in the number of travelers.
OSL passed the 25 million, but it helps little when Arlanda gradually has taken on and is growing faster, in the last year by 7 per cent. A clear warning shot across the came in December, when was the Arlanda greater than the OSL.
Continues this trend can the swedes again, pass the Gardermoen in size and in that case, degrade the Norges hovedflyplass to lilleputt in Scandinavia. Then we are back to the years after that Fornebu was closed down.
the Battle for location is important because the number of passengers is often critical for how the airlines put their new routes. The airports with the greatest trafikkgrunnlag get new routes from the most attractive the airlines.
It does not OSLs situation better that Kastrup at the other end protruding from the in travel at express speed with. The danes passed the 29 million last year and had a growth rate that is twice as large as the Airport.
the Swedes will danke out Copenhagen
Also, the swedes are aggressive. They should not only to pass the Oslo, but also be bigger than Copenhagen, which they are now located 5.3 million passengers in the rear.
” We will be the largest in the Nordic countries in the course of three years. Growth is great, especially in intercontinental traffic. We have received 15 new langruter of three years. Several lavprisselskap has now established himself on the Copenhagen, and not least, Norwegian expanded rapidly in the last few years, ” says officer Ulf Wallin at the airport owner Swedavia to Aftenposten.
Waiting for Ryanair to come
the Swedes are waiting now only on that passasjertunge Ryanair to appear also at Arlanda, so the company has done both at Kastrup and Oslo Airport.
last year increased Kastrup a total of 2.4 million travelers. Ryanair accounted for 2 million of these.
Ryanair has also started on the OSL, currently fairly small. Communications manager Joachim Westher Andersen has sunken shoulders:
We are first and foremost committed to delivering an airport that both the airlines and passengers happy. We do not use so much time to school at Kastrup and Arlanda airport, but we appreciate competition. We have many exciting processes on time, and we notice that Norway and Oslo are more on the map now than ever before. 2017 will be an exciting year, ” he says.
Copenhagen doesn’t care about Oslo
In Copenhagen, this growth has been record-breaking, almost in its entirety, can be attributed to Europe’s largest airline, billigutfordreren Ryanair, in 2015 went in heavy on Copenhagen-the airport. Kastrup see in practice away from Oslo as a competitor and would rather take up the fight with the major european airports.
We are in close competition with the other major european airports on especially the intercontinental routes, which is important for a knutepunkts-airport as a CPH. Here we can see that the airlines in the to a greater extent matches the us, with airports such as Munich, Zurich, Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris than f.ex. Oslo. Our primary competitors are other european storlufthavner, ” says officer Kasper Hyllestad at Copenhagen airport.
Advisor Einar Sørensen believes that Oslo’s problem is that befolkningsgrunnlaget is small:
– Oslo nærmarked is small, approx. 2.5 million people. Copenhagen’s market is around 10 million and Stockholm on 5-6 million. This shows what problems the OSL is facing, he believes.
