OSL Oslo

How deep the OSL board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from OSL. This reads the same 146 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 83of the 146 destinations are flown by one airline
• 69destinations run less than once a day
• 23destinations have four or more departures a day
• 61.6%of the destinations name Norwegian Air Shuttle, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at OSL

62 airlines appear on the OSL board and they do not hold it evenly. Norwegian Air Shuttle is on 90 of the 146 destinations, 61.6 per cent of them, and on 34 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 312.2 of the 378.2 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is SAS on 54 destinations. 45 of the 62 airlines at OSL appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 90 of the 146 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an OSL sector is usually another Norwegian Air Shuttle aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at OSL than the destination count does.

How much of the OSL board is daily

Of the 146 destinations, 77 are flown at least once a day and 69 are not, 20 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the OSL board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: OSL to Zakynthos Island (ZTH) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 114.9 of the 378.2 departures a day, 30.4 per cent of the whole board. The other 141 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at OSL usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of OSL where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 49 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from OSL

The desk holds the return direction for 92 of the 146 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On four of them the return into OSL runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Marrakech (RAK) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back, Nápoli (NAP) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back and Istanbul (IST) at 3.1 out a day against 2 back.

It runs the other way as well: Venice (VCE) files 0.71 a day back into OSL against 0.29 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at OSL

OSL keeps Europe/Oslo time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at OSL, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at OSL and still make a departure the same day.

The night at OSL

16 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Stockholm (ARN) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from OSL that lands inside it leaves around 20:56, on a modelled block of 1h 04m. Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from OSL that lands inside it leaves around 21:17, on a modelled block of 1h 43m. Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from OSL that lands inside it leaves around 21:46, on a modelled block of 2h 14m. Those three departure times out of OSL are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where OSL turns up on the rest of this site

OSL carries two other pages on this site as well: the Norway country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the OSL transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 53 airport pair pages that start or end at OSL, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Oslo to Trondheim (TRD), Oslo to Bergen (BGO) and Oslo to Copenhagen (CPH).

One of the 346 published hand carry lanes runs through this airport: Dubai to Oslo. A lane page is the commercial version of the board above, with the customs, the ground legs and the price at OSL written out.

Eleven courier postings name OSL as the airport a courier here flies from: Oslo, Drammen and Fredrikstad.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with OSL already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 146 destinations above.
