We apologize for the inconvenience this causes. This is all the information we have at the moment. We will come back with more information. writes Avinor in a press release.
At Oslo Airport, the last flight took off at 6 o’clock, according to Avinor’s overview.

Emergency manager at Haugesund Airport, Karmøy, Trond Stakkestad says that the last message they have received about the start of departures here locally is at 08.52.
– But this can quickly change, he says.
According to flyhau.no, a SAS departure at 06.50 and a Norwegian departure at 7 have status as “gate closed”.
– Does this mean that the passengers are now on board?
– They are on board and the planes are waiting. We don’t know exactly when they can take off, we have to use time to help, says Stakkestad.
According to the original plan, no more flight activity is expected at Helganes until a Wideøe flight from Bergen is due to land at 08.45.
