Ukependlerne Trym Olsen and Trond Jacobsen hopes for the longest time that the transport ministry’s decision not to contribute financially to Geitryggen not left.
Traveling West
Olsen (Statoil ASA) and Jacobsen (KCA Deutag Drilling Norway AS) say they speak on behalf of many when they express concern for the airport’s commercial existence.
- Together with offshore and other operations on land, there are over 1,300 Statoil employees who commute from Grenland to the West Coast from Geitryggen. In addition, there are several others who in their time have lost their jobs here in the bay, which is now traveling westward and found work there. This represents a total of around two thousand using the airport regularly, says Olsen.
Support group Preserve Geiteryggen airport had Sunday night over 1900 followers.
Ripple effects
Jacobsen is keen to highlight the positives of the airport.
- It’s too many other flying here. Annually we are talking about around 40,000 travelers. This gives many good effects for Grenland. It will be sad if all they rather be traveling from Torp Sandefjord, he said.
- Then taxi queue to Torp be long and expensive, adding to Olsen.
No group support
The two had hoped that such some employers may help to push the Ministry determines else. Statoil, which also has quite a few traveling from Geiteryggen, however passive.
- WE are not going to go into contact with anyone about this, said information officer at Statoil ASA Janik Lindbæk jr. the Varden.
