Transport Minister Jon-Ivar Nygård (Labor Party) will consider reopening Rygge airport in Østfold. Before the decision to build a third runway at Gardermoen.

The Minister for Transport and Communications tells Storting that the government wants to establish an independent commission to investigate the future capacity at Oslo airport, reports NRK.

This means, among other things, whether a third runway should be built there or whether Rygge should be used as an alternative airport.

Civil air traffic at Moss Rygge airport was halted in 2017. The controversial aviation passenger tax, which was introduced on all flights from Norwegian airports in 2016, was given as the reason. Ryanair closed all traffic with Rygge.

Now a Facebook group with 35 members is pushing for the reopening of commercial activities at the airport.

- You cannot look at such an airport as a monument to how bad it can get when politicians make unclear decisions. Says Tor Magnus Seglsten in the group "We who want Rygge airport to reopen".

In September Moss Avis  wrote that Moss Airport Rygge is for sale. Jotunfjell Partners, which has been the owner since 2017, sells both terminal buildings as well as garages and parking spaces for aircraft. The goal is to sell during the year.
