Oslo Airport, Gardermoen''' ('''IATA Flight Code:''' OSL) is the main airport serving Oslo (the capital of Norway).

== An introduction to {{FULLPAGENAME}} ==
Norway's largest airport and the nation's main international gateway. It is officially called just "Oslo Airport" (In Norwegian phrasebook|Norwegian: "Oslo lufthavn"), but in training "Gardermoen" is often added to the name. This is to prevent confusion with the other airport serving Oslo: Sandefjord Torp Airport) and the airport in Fornebu, which closed in 1998. The airport is at Gardermoen, an unincorporated area within Akershus, 37 kilometers north-northeast of [[Oslo]]. It is very well connected by ground transport and the terminal is very efficient, but because it is large, allow some time to transfer.

In May 2017 a new northern pier was put into service. This significantly increased the capacity of the airport.
