History

Military and secondary

The Norwegian-Danish army started using Gardermoen as a camp as early as 1740, when it was called Fredericksfeldt. The first flight took place in 1912, and by 1920 there were multiple hangars at the airport.

After the war, Gardermoen was used both for charter and intercontinental flights. Military operations were also conducted at the airfield. ^[1] Charter flights were operated from 1972 at Gardermoen instead of Fornebu due to a lack of slots at Fornebu, while intercontinental flights had to be operated from Gardermoen because the runway at Fornebu was too short. It was only in the 1990s that SAS flights to New York were moved to Fornebu. After the move and until the new terminal and other facilities were opened in 1998, the airport remained almost dormant of commercial flights but military flights used the airport. ^[2] It has been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles accessible from a disambiguation page. ...

Finding a new airport

Arrival Passengers hall

After Gressholmen (sea) and Kjeller Airport (land) had been serving Oslo as airports, the new airport at Oslo Airport, Fornebu opened in 1939. But in the 1980s, the airport was getting severe capacity problems. The airport had only one runway, so there were no available slots at the airport during morning and afternoon rush. This made it impossible for the new deregulated airline market to work, since potential new airlines would not have access to enough slots at Fornebu. A new runway could not be constructed because of space problems. The old airport also suffered from lack of adequate public transport, with no metro or railway line to the airport. The airport was located quite close to the city centre and beside a residential area, causing great sound pollution problems.

There were many candidate locations for the new main airport for Oslo, notably Hobøl, Hurum, Kroer, Ås and Gardermoen. Though the political process around the airport location started in the 1950s, the first real decision came in 1988 when legislature decided to build an airport at Hurum. But meteorological surveys showed that there would be too much fog at Hurum, and the process was cancelled.

The airport has two concourses; Domestic and International

The domestic concourse entrance

A new operating company, Oslo Lufthavn AS took over the operating of Gardermoen and Fornebu. The decision in parliament meant that the new airport had to be built self-financing, and so a separate limited company had to be created to finance the new airport. The airport's total construction cost of NOK 11,4 billion was all borrowed by the company, and profits from airport operations are used to pay the debt. The company also operated Fornebu from January 1, 1997. Oslo Lufthavn AS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Avinor AS, the Norwegian civil airport administration.

Gardermoen took over as the main Oslo airport on October 8, 1998, when Fornebu Airport was closed except for some sea plane facilities. The transfer happened overnight, and was a major operation. The new airport has a capacity of 17 million passengers per year, and 80 air movements per hour. After the opening of Gardermoen, the access of slots at the airport and the arrival of a new low-cost carrier Color Air resulted in a major price war among the airlines, ending in 1999 when Color Air ceased operations.

In 1999, Northwest Airlines briefly operated a flight between Oslo and Minneapolis for several months with their DC-10-30 aircraft, before the flight was canceled due to poor load factors. In October 2001, the only remaining intercontinental flight, to New York (Newark),with SAS 767-300 aircraft was discontinued. In 2004, Continental Airlines resumed service on this route. There is also a regular connection to Pakistan, and some charter flights to Thailand and some other countries on other continents.

Alleged planning scandal

The location at Gardermoen was met with considerable objections. Some focused on the long distance to Oslo and the need of a costly high-speed railway. Other concerns were the environmental impact on the area (a large ground water basin was discovered underneath the site), and claims that bad weather would cause problems.

Questioning of weather surveys

The weather surveys, which recommended the new airport be built at Gardermoen in place of Hurum, were questioned by civil engineer Jan Fredrik Wiborg. He claimed the information was falsified and that parliament were deliberately misled by government officials. Wiborg died on June 21, 1994 after falling from a hotel window in Copenhagen, and crucial documents about the case disappeared. Circumstances about his death was never fully cleared. Journalists from the newspaper Aftenposten were awarded the prestigious SKUP prize in 1999 for their investigation of the case.^[3][4] During 2000 the Constitutional Committee of Parliament held a public hearing about the alleged foul play during the airport planning process.

Fog and deicing problems

Since its opening, Gardermoen has had considerable problems with fog and freezing rain, causing complete close-down a few times. Super-cooled rain reportedly occurs on average three times a month during winter on the site, according to meteorological stats gathered since the 1950s.^[5] The use of deicing fluids is restricted since the area underneath the airport contains one of the nation's largest uncontained quaternary aquifers (underground water systems), the Trandum delta. ^[7] In January 2006 an Infratek deicing system was set up, using infrared heat in large hangar tents. It was hoped that the method would decrease the use of chemical deicers by 90 %, but as of February 2007 the technique was still unsuccessful.^[8] Freezing Rain is a type of precipitation that begins as snow at higher altitude, falling from a cloud towards earth, melts completely on its way down while passing through a layer of air above freezing temperature, and then encounters a layer below freezing at lower level to become supercooled. ...

December 14, 1998 ice incident

In the morning of December 14, 1998, a combination of freezing fog and supercooled rain caused severe glaze at Gardermoen.

There are plans for increasing the terminal area by adding a new terminal 2 situated 500m north of the present terminal, this is connected by an underground passage and may be completed in 2012 at the earliest. This idea was predicted even before the completion of the airport, it was therefore included in the development plans of the airport as a whole.

The Government has discussed the opportunity of a third runway in the future, but it is not planned to be completed until 2030. Though estimates by Avinor show that the runway will be necessary by 2030, critics have pointed out that much larger airports, such as London Heathrow Airport, only have two runways. Also, in October 2007 Eastern Norway's third airport, Moss Airport, Rygge, will open. Still, the Norwegian Minister of Transport, Liv Signe Navarsete (Sp), has said that spreading the traffic between the three airports will result in inconvenience for air passengers and a massive need for inter-airport ground transportation, but she still has announced that she is opposed to a third runway. ^[10] Heathrow redirects here. ...
