Now the downturn in November this year compared to last year only 0.3 percent, but flights tend to be a good barometer of the overall condition in business:
International traffic was up 2 percent, while domestic traffic decreased by 1.3 percent.
This gave overall a decrease of 0.3 percent.
Challenges in the Norwegian economy
– For the first time in six years we have registered a decline in air traffic, and we have seen a flattening of growth in the last couple of months. This has probably a correlation with the challenges Norwegian economy is facing, says Avinor CEO Dag Falk-Petersen, in a press release.
He fears, however, that this will be a trend that continues and beats feet away future investments at Norwegian airports:
– Therefore it is important that it is the long-term forecasts that underlie the actions we choose to implement, as we are now expanding capacity at Oslo Airport and Bergen . Meanwhile jobs Avinor works to reduce costs and streamline operations so that we can deal with cyclical fluctuations, said Falk-Petersen.
A beacon it may be in the figures for November, despite a slight decline:
Oslo Airport greater than Kastrup
Oslo Airport is now again Scandinavia’s largest airport measured in number of passengers. The amicable feud with what once was the big brother to the south, Kastrup Airport outside Copenhagen, ended in this year’s second page monthly that Oslo took the leader jersey in the Nordic countries:
1,854,907 passengers traveled to or from Norway’s main in November, while the figure for Kastrup was 1,844,627. Large margins are not talking about, but Oslo is the conclusion anyway: most are greatest.
– It is of course always a little extra fun to beat our friends in Copenhagen, says chief of Oslo Airport, Øyvind Hasaas.
