KRISTIANSAND
Kristiansand is an airport on the far south coast of Norway, with slightly over 1 million pax per year. It's at least 4 hours drive to Oslo-Gardemoen and at least 3 hours to Stavanger's airport. Even Torp is at least 2h30 driving time away. Looking at stats for the busiest airports in the Nordic countries, it puzzles me why none of Norwegian, Ryanair, Stobart, Flybe or any other carriers have chosen to open a route to London in the last few years.
I know FlyNonStop tried briefly in 2013, but there were more than a few things going wrong with their operation - the strategy of the company alone seemed very difficult to understand.
If however KLM can sustain a 20x weekly E170/E190 feeder route to Amsterdam, then surely there must be sufficient demand for a direct route to one of London's airports on some days of the week
Anyone have any thoughts ?
