The check-in hall at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. Remark its extensive use of woodwork. Oslo Airport, Gardermoen is the main airport serving Oslo (the capital of Norway) and most of East Norway. The airport is at Gardermoen about 40 kilometers north of Oslo about 20 minutes by train. The main railway line south-north runs through the terminal and the main road south-north runs close to the terminal.

Norway's largest airport and the country's main international gateway. It is officially called just "Oslo Airport" (In Norwegian: "Oslo lufthavn"), but in practice "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 kilometres 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.
