Bergen: Private jet hire

Bergen: introduction

Bergen, nestling on the west coast of Norway, is a city that combines history, culture and breathtaking natural scenery. Surrounded by spectacular fjords and majestic mountains, it is known for its picturesque atmosphere and colourful houses lining the quays. Bergen airport is Norway’s second largest, offering passengers flights to national and international destinations.

Bergen: a little history

Founded in 1070, Bergen was an important maritime trading centre for several centuries, playing a key role in the Hanseatic League, an alliance of merchant cities that dominated the trade routes of northern Europe. In those days, the Bryggen district, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was a strategic location for trade.

Today, Bergen continues to thrive, not only as a cultural and tourist centre, but also as a key city in Norway’s oil industry. Located close to numerous offshore platforms, it is a major hub for oil production, making a significant contribution to the national economy. This industrial dimension, combined with its rich historical and cultural heritage, makes it a city that is both dynamic and full of surprises. With its bustling port, museums and breathtaking scenery, it is a gateway for cruises to the Norwegian fjords, attracting many visitors throughout the year.

History of Bergen airport

Bergen Airport was first used for military purposes when it was moved to Flesland. It was not until 1955 that civilian and then private flights began to operate there. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, military aviation lost its importance, to the benefit of an increase in civil and private air traffic in Bergen, reflecting the city’s growth and its role as a tourist and commercial hub.

Special features of Bergen airport

Bergen airport accounts for around 10% of Norway’s international air traffic, making it the country’s second busiest airport. It handles almost 6 million passengers a year. To cope with this continuing growth, a new, modern terminal was opened in August 2017, increasing the number of gates from 9 to 15. Thanks to this expansion, the airport is now able to handle up to 7.5 million passengers a year, meeting growing demand while offering travellers greater comfort and services.
