Bristol hosts launch of new Oslo service

Passengers will now be able to fly direct from Bristol Airport to the beautiful Norwegian capital of Oslo after carrier Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) launched a new service.

Travellers can jet into the Scandinavian city on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays throughout the summer from the busy south-west hub.

Available until October 23rd, the new route will be ideal for holidaymakers wanting to make the most of the Scandinavian summertime and UK business travellers attending conferences in the capital.

Lars-Ove Filipson, general manager of SAS UK, said that the airline was "delighted" to increase its offering at Bristol International, on top of the routes to Stockholm which it already provides from the airport.

"With the launch of the new Oslo service this week, we look forward to opening up Scandinavia to the south-west," he said.

Chief executive of Bristol International Airport Paul Kehoe, added: "The launch of the new Oslo route, to be followed by the return of a Stockholm service this summer, shows the potential of the south-west as a leisure destination for Scandinavians."
