For OSL, this brought about the most serious disruption of operations since it was opened in 1998.

One milestone was reached in December, when the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications granted permission to extend the terminal building, with an appurtenant extension of the runway systems. This provided a basis for a final decision regarding expansion at the Board meeting of Avinor in January 2011. The project will increase the capacity of the airport to 28 million passengers, and lay the ground for further expansion to 35 million passengers.
