Oslo airport passengers warned of queues ahead of busy travel days
Thursday is a public holiday for Ascension Day in Norway, and many people book the Friday off to get a four-day weekend.
'Over 85,000 travellers are expected to pass through Oslo Airport. This is on par with the numbers we see during the summer holidays,' Carita Storm Røsaasen, press officer at Avinor, told public broadcaster NRK on Wednesday.
Travellers have been told to use the airline's recommended check-in time.
Long queues have been increasingly common at Oslo Gardermoen in recent weeks.
Avinor has said some recent long queues have been due to the training of staff who will work at the airport over the summer.

'On very busy days like today and tomorrow, you may have to wait in line for 15–20 minutes,' Storm Røsaasen said.
The airport has also had issues with a lack of staff in recent weeks. However, Røsaasen said that staffing levels at the airport looked good ahead of a busy few days at the airport.
