The majority of the air traffic passengers pass through the capital region’s airport and there are good roads, trains and ferries linking the region to the rest of Norway and Continental Europe. The public transport network in the Oslo region comprises railway, metro and tramlines, buses and boats. The main goods terminals for road and rail are located in the northeast corridor. Together with the Port of Oslo they form the main core of goods distribution in Eastern Norway.

Oslo Airport fastest growing in Scandinavia

The main airport Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL) is located 45 km north of Oslo. OSL had the fastest growth of all the large airports in Scandinavia in 2007. With 19 million passengers, the growth rate was 7.8%. This has strengthened OSL’s position as Scandinavia’s second largest airport, with more than one million more passengers than Arlanda in Stockholm. Oslo Airport is also ranked as Europe's most efficient airport, according to Air Transport Research Society (ATRS). The prize is based on calculations of airport productivity, efficiency and competitiveness.

Thanks to the Airport Express Train and a well-developed bus network, the Oslo Airport at Gardermoen is also well connected to the rest of the region. From the airport to the city centre of Oslo, it takes less than 20 minutes by train.

In addition to OSL, the Oslo region has two other international airports within close reach: Sandefjord Airport Torp, located south-west of Oslo and Moss Airport Rygge located in south-east of Oslo.
