Home > Fornebu


 

Fornebu, in Norway, is a peninsular area in the suburban municipality of Bærum, close to the country's capital Oslo. Oslo Airport Fornebu (FBU) served as the main airport for Oslo and the country since before WWII and until the evening of October 7 1998, when it was closed down. The following morning, the new main airport, located far inland at Gardermoen (OSL), opened for operations.

As of the turn of the millennium, the Fornebu area is being developed as a centre for information technology and telecom industry, as well as there being some housing project developments nearby. The new headquarters of Norway's telecom giant Telenor are located in the area.

The peninsula is connected to Langodden and Snarøya , which are more established areas of private residencies. After Oslo Airport Fornebu closed down, the area has become quite attractive.
