Brief Intro About Scandinavian Airlines

First taking flight in 1946, SAS, which is the common term for Scandinavian Airlines, is one of the oldest airlines still in existence. Today, this flag carrier-branded airline with hubs in Oslo, Norway, Copenhagen, Denmark, and Stockholm, Sweden, has the privilege of routinely transporting more than 29 million air passengers on a yearly basis. With service to more than 30 countries scattered across North America, Europe, and Asia, it’s not shocking that SAS has seen significant growth over its long tenure.

Gardermoen Airport - The Pressing Details

Oslo Gardermoen Airport was established in 1998, which is fairly recent for an airport. Since it's of newer construction, the single terminal’s facilities are modern, and passengers can shop and dine while they wait for a flight. Oslo Airport tends to focus on domestic flights and routes to popular European cities, but it also offers options for direct flights to Asian hotspots and larger cities in North America. At its peak in 2019, the airport had more than 28 million people through its 72 gates. With access to 40 countries from here and well over 125 unique destinations, Oslo Airport remains a favourite among seasoned travellers.

It is easily accessible by the Arlanda Express high-speed rail that makes the journey from Stockholm in 18 minutes.
