Avinor expects a busy Easter period at Værnes airport and is strengthening staffing there, though the specific measures have not been detailed. Forecasts show that Tuesday, April 7 will be the busiest day with 16,128 passengers, but how this compares to previous Easter periods remains unclear. According to airport director Marit Stigen, Værnes has a classic Easter pattern: many start their holiday early, while return traffic comes in a clear wave towards the end of the period.
That results in two clear peaks. Stigen added that most trips are domestic journeys, but European capitals are also popular, though which capitals are most favored is not specified.
