Avinor Brings Fast Travel to Five Major Airports

Avinor has signed a new agreement with Fast Travel AS to manage curbside operations at five of Norway’s largest airports — Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, and Tromsø. The deal aims to improve traffic flow, enhance safety, and create a more efficient and customer-friendly experience for passengers and taxi operators alike.

 

Curbside areas — the high-traffic zones directly in front of terminal entrances — are essential for airport shuttle services, buses, and taxis. Under the new agreement, Fast Travel will oversee access control, taxi dispatch, and traffic management in these areas. The rollout begins at Tromsø on November 1, followed by Bergen, Trondheim, and Stavanger by December 1. Oslo Airport, where Fast Travel already operates, will expand its curbside operations from October 2026.

“This solution gives travelers a more predictable and secure taxi service,” said Tom Rune Arnsen, Key Account Manager at Avinor. “Passengers order their own taxi and agree on the price in advance, providing transparency and control.”

To support the system, booking kiosks will be installed inside terminals, alongside tailored digital ordering platforms. Taxi drivers will also have access to a new driver app that includes features such as estimated wait times, helping them optimize routes and reduce downtime.

Fast Travel CEO Ole Amundsen called the agreement a “significant milestone” for the company. “Our solution creates a calmer terminal area, improves efficiency, and delivers a better experience for passengers. We’re proud to bring a Norwegian innovation with global potential to more airports.”

The phased implementation will allow time for taxi operators to adapt, and the solution is being tailored to meet local needs. Avinor emphasizes that safety and stable operations remain the top priority throughout the rollout.

This expansion builds on Fast Travel’s success at Oslo Airport and reflects a broader push to modernize airport ground transport infrastructure using smart technology.
