For Stavanger and Trondheim, the corresponding increase was 76 000 and 36 000 passengers. Oslo airport Gardermoen saw 293 000 more passengers in the same period.
More space on international flights

Available seats on these flights went up by slightly more than 13 per cent in the same period. An increase in the corresponding number of passengers of just below 12 per cent means that available seats per flights have gone up.
