Oslo Flights Disrupted as Cancellations and Delays Hit Three Norwegian Airports

Air travel in Norway was disrupted today as oslo flights at Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger recorded widespread cancellations and delays, with a total of 14 cancellations and 152 delays. The disturbances were concentrated at Oslo Airport (Gardermoen), where 10 cancellations and 100 delayed departures were logged, creating knock-on effects across the domestic network and leaving hundreds of travellers seeking alternatives.

Oslo Flights: Airport totals and delays

Oslo Airport was the most affected facility in this wave of disruptions. Operations at the capital’s main gateway showed 10 cancelled services alongside 100 delayed flights. Smaller regional hubs also saw notable disruption: Bergen Airport (Flesland) logged 2 cancellations and 34 delays, while Stavanger Airport (Sola) recorded 2 cancellations and 18 delays. The combined national tally stands at 14 cancellations and 152 delays, reflecting a concentrated but impactful interruption of scheduled services.

SAS Link and SAS disruptions

The largest share of the cancellations and delays were concentrated within the SAS group. At Oslo, SAS Link accounted for 7 cancellations and 7 delays, while the mainline SAS operations recorded 3 cancellations and 23 delays. In Bergen, all recorded interruptions were tied to SAS Link (2 cancellations, 2 delays), and in Stavanger SAS Link registered 2 cancellations and 4 delays. The pattern points to operational issues within that carrier’s network that amplified disruption across those hubs.

Other carriers and regional ripple

Beyond the core SAS group, delays affected flights from multiple other airlines operating in the region, including Lufthansa, KLM, Norwegian Air Shuttle, Norwegian Air Sweden, Widerøe’s Flyveselskap A/s, and LOT Polish Airlines. The disturbances in Norway coincided with broader European and transatlantic disruption this week, with hundreds of passengers stranded across cities such as Stockholm, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels and others, and cancellations and delays impacting travel to major destinations including Paris, Rome, New York and Dubai.

Impact on passengers and tourism

The high volume of delayed oslo flights—notably the 100 delayed departures at the capital airport—likely delayed hundreds of travellers from reaching hotels, tours and reservations in Oslo and elsewhere. Cancellations and lengthy delays can cascade into missed connections and reshuffled itineraries, placing strain on ground staff and local transport services that must accommodate displaced passengers. Passengers have been advised to check flight status frequently and secure alternative arrangements where available.

Near-term outlook and operational signals

Observable indicators in the available data point to concentrated operational strain rather than a network-wide shutdown: cancellations are limited in number relative to the total delayed flights, and the interruptions are concentrated among a particular carrier group and at three airports. If the carrier group’s scheduling disruptions persist, further knock-on delays across domestic rotations are possible; if corrective measures restore targeted flights, the ripple effects may ease. At this time, the factual records show 14 cancellations and 152 delays across the three airports.

• Key takeaways: 14 cancellations, 152 delays nationwide; Oslo: 10 cancellations and 100 delays.
