Avinor is putting approximately 30 retail spaces out to tender across its four largest airports — Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, and Trondheim — in a commercial push worth an estimated NOK 4.5 billion over five years.
The spaces cover a broad mix of categories including fashion and sportswear, electronics, bookstores, souvenirs, accessories, sunglasses, sweets, gifting and lifestyle, and delicacies. Avinor says the tenders are designed to attract long-term partners capable of building relevant, inspiring concepts suited to the pace and passenger mix of an airport environment.
“These tenders provide us with the opportunity to establish long-term partnerships that not only enhance the commercial offering and improve the travel experience but also contribute to creating strong revenue streams,” said Iskra Skram, VP Commercial Development Terminal at Avinor.
The move follows a similar tender process Avinor launched last month for food and beverage contracts at eight of its airports. Together, the two rounds mark a significant reshaping of the commercial experience across Avinor’s terminals, with the operator aiming to blend well-known international and Norwegian brands with local businesses and Nordic character.
“By consolidating and optimising terminal spaces, we can create a more cohesive and attractive offering for travellers,” said Joachim Lupnaav Johnsen, Executive Vice President for Commercial Areas at Avinor.
The four airports involved handled a combined 53 million passengers in 2025, with that figure expected to grow to 56 million by the time the new contracts begin.
