Jasper Spruit, VP Traffic Development at Avinor, commented: “We are happy that Iberia are strengthening their operations to and from Norway. With added frequencies and full-year operations, Oslo and Madrid become even closer. The new schedule also improves the connectivity to Iberia’s network in Spain and to Latin America. Bergen is fast becoming Norway´s main tourist destination, and this new route is another example of the attractiveness of the gateway to the Norwegian fjords and scenic nature”.

Celia Muñoz, Iberia’s director of Sales in EMEA, Asia and the United States, commented: “The expansion of our Oslo operations and the launch of the Bergen-Madrid route make us an alternative for all those travellers from Norway who wish to fly to Spain and especially to Latin America. At the same time, we are making it easier and faster for many people to travel to Norway for business or pleasure.”

Travellers to/from Oslo and Bergen will find the best connections in Madrid to other cities in Spain, such as Almeria, Granada, Jerez de la Frontera, Pamplona, Valencia, and Vigo; and also to Latin American cities, such asBuenos Aires, Montevideo, Lima, Santiago de Chile, São Paulo, and Mexico City. Customers can combine Iberia and British Airways flights on the same ticket for travel to and from Norway.

Latest releases from The Avinor Group

Fourth quarter 2023: Reduced revenue due to changing travel patterns.12.2.2024 14:23:28 CET | Press release

“Avinor's main challenge is reduced revenues due to changes in travel patterns after the pandemic. There are far fewer business travelers than before, and Norwegians' domestic travel activity has levelled off. Lower traffic volume, lack of adjustment of airport taxes, as well as reduced revenue per passenger, largely due to reduced duty-free quota, challenge the Avinor model”, says Abraham Foss, CEO of Avinor.

Northern Norway's Skyward Surge: International Flights and Tourism on the Rise23.1.2024 13:22:01 CET | Press release

This growth is most notably seen in Troms and Finnmark, with figures indicating a rapidly growing interest in the region.
