History

The facilities

Stavanger Airport, Sola is Norway's oldest airport, opened by King Haakon VII 29 May 1937. The airport was the second to have a concrete runway in Europe. The airport was attacked and captured by German paratroopers supported by aircraft on 9 April 1940. The attack was over in an hour, and the airport remained in German hands for the duration of World War II. During the war, the German occupation forces and Luftwaffe expanded the airport considerably, as it was a vital strategic asset for the Germans.

Originally, the idea was to locate the Stavanger airport at Forus, but after the war the Royal Norwegian Air Force decided to use Sola temporarily until the new airport was built, but nothing ever became of Forus.

Civilan airlines

Det Norske Luftfartsselskap (DNL, later Scandinavian Airline Systems or SAS) started flying to Sola after the war, as did Braathens S.A.F.E in 1946 on its routes to Europe and the Far East with the Douglas DC-3 aircraft. In 1952 Braathens S.A.F.E got the concession to fly the routes Oslo-Stavanger, Oslo-Kristiansand-Stavanger and the coastal route Stavanger-Bergen-Ålesund-Trondheim-Bodø-Tromsø. SAS, on the other hand, got the concessions for the Oslo-Bergen, Oslo-northern Norway and the international traffic. This division lasted until the deregulation of air travel in 1994. Widerøe established itself at Sola in the late 1980s after they bought Sandefjord-Torp-based Norsk Air.

Foreign airlines

The British Airways predecessors had already started operating at Sola after the war, but it was only in 1980 that they started regular flights with BAC-111 aircraft to London-Heathrow. Later, the route was operated with Boeing 737-200/-300/-400 and Boeing 757-200. In 1994 British Airways employees at Sola were transferred to Braathens S.A.F.E as part of new cooperation between the two airlines. But in 1997 KLM bought 30% of Braathens (as the airline was renamed) and British Airways closed its Stavanger routes, because it lacked its own staff. Dan-Air London flew the route London-Gatwick-Newcastle-Stavanger, until they went bankrupt in 1990. Norwegian Air Shuttle and Widerøe have flown to Newcastle as well.
