Oslo Gardermoen Airport Arrivals (OSL)

Flight Arrivals at Oslo Gardermoen Airport

Oslo Gardermoen Airport arrivals will find everything they could wish for in a modern airport. Oslo Airport handles upwards of 60,000 passengers every day and the modern, well designed terminal building allows passengers to quickly pass through border and passport control and customs, so they can meet their families and friends in the arrivals hall or catch onward domestic flights in the domestic flight departure hall.

As the airport has reached its capacity an extension to the existing terminal building is being planned and a new pier is being built to accommodate more aircraft. The current arrivals hall is split into domestic and international arrivals, each having their own gates, baggage and check-in areas.

There is a taxi information stand based in the arrivals hall, where passenger can make enquiries about the taxi companies operating out of the airport and their fixed fees for taking passengers to Central Oslo and destinations beyond the city limits.

All the major car hire companies have booking desks in the arrivals hall and Oslo Airport arrivals can pick up their keys and documents for their pre-booked vehicles from Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz or Sixt at the service desks upon arrival.

The airport also has a train station for onward travel by regional train to Oslo and its various suburbs and for onward travel to Trondheim and other cities across Norway. Once the terminal building expansion has been completed, the train station will be located at the very heart of the new terminal building.

There are several bus companies operating out of Oslo Airport and arrivals at Oslo Airport can find the bus stops just outside the arrivals hall.

The airport has always been a showcase building for modern, environmentally friendly design and the building materials used have reflected the Scandinavian philosophy of simple, user friendly architecture blending with environmental needs. The enlarged and improved airport has been designed with this concept in mind and Oslo Airport's authority managing the project has made sure that the final result will be as climate-neutral as possible.
