Oslo Airport, Gardermoen

Oslo Airport, Gardermoen (OSL ^IATA) is the main airport serving Oslo, the capital of Norway, and the country's main international gateway. It is officially called just "Oslo Airport", but in practice "Gardermoen", the name of the unincorporated area within Akershus the airport is in, is often added to the name. This is to prevent confusion with two other airports serving Oslo (Moss Rygge Airport and Sandefjord Torp Airport) and the former airport in Fornebu, which bore the "Oslo Airport" designation until 1998.
