On Thursday morning, there was complete chaos at Oslo Airport when the airspace over southern Norway closed due to a technical error. The departure hall quickly filled up with frustrated passengers unable to get off.
At 09.35 Avinor announced that the error had been corrected. Gradually, it opens up to normal traffic, but there will be delays, and there are also some problems with the passengers’ luggage.
Baggage hunt
Rita Tømmerås and her friend were going to Barcelona by plane at 9. The departure is postponed until 21 tonight, and they don’t know what happens to their luggage either.
– I’m looking for my luggage now. We know very little, says Rita.
Shortly afterwards, several of the friends managed to find the luggage, but not Rita herself.
– It was by chance that we found out that we had to pick it up, and then check it in again, says Rita.
A press officer in Avinor, Cathrine Framholt, says that it is difficult to avoid luggage problems on a day like this.
– There is a lot of unclaimed luggage both at home and abroad due to the cancellation today. With so many canceled and delayed flights, it gets like that. The airlines do a great job of handling this. Passengers must contact the airlines if they have questions about their luggage, she says.
