Book a Private Jet to Bergen Airport
Bergen Airport in Flesland is Norway’s second largest airport, serving both domestic and international destinations. On account of steadily rising passenger numbers, a new terminal was added in August 2017, increasing the airport’s capacity and offering the highest level of comfort.
Aviation History at Bergen Airport
Bergen’s airport boasts an eventful history, which began when Swedish aviation pioneer Carl Gustav Cederström put on a demonstration flight on 25 September 1911. The first scheduled flight service began in 1920, although not at the site of the current airport, rather at the water aerodrome established in the previous year. Once operations moved to a land airport at Flesland some decades later, it was first used by military aircraft. The first civilian flights from Bergen’s new airport finally began in 1955.
With the fall of the Soviet Union, military aviation diminished in importance and both scheduled and charter flights to and from Bergen became more frequent. Today, 23 different airlines serve Bergen Flesland Airport, including the Norwegian Air shuttle and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). In addition, workers from oil platforms in the North Sea commute from Bergen Airport by helicopter.

Private Jet Hire: Bergen‘s Economic and Natural Landscapes
Bergen is one of the most important cities for Norwegian oil and gas exploration and extraction, which together with renewable energy and subsea technology make the energy sector a major source of jobs in the Bergen region. Not to be outdone by its economic significance, Bergen’s natural beauty – in particular its majestic fjords, mountains, and nature reserves make it a favourite for outdoor enthusiasts.
Bergen is Norway’s second largest city after Oslo and has numerous cultural and culinary highlights to tempt visitors. KODE Art Museums and Composer Homes feature works from world famous artists such as Edvard Munch among their 50,000 objects. Restaurants directly on the harbour offer freshly caught fish and seafood prepared by some of Norway’s best chefs. Bergen’s central location also makes it a popular connection point to and from various other Norwegian destinations such as:
- Bergen ✈ Oslo (ENGM / OSL): approx. 50 minutes

- Bergen ✈ Stavanger (EGZV / SVG): approx. 40 minutes

Chartering a Private Jet to Bergen – Environmental Considerations
Bergen Airport aims to minimise the environmental impact of flying by offering private aircraft that can operate on biofuels, thus reducing greenhouse emissions. At your request, your Bergen flight can use a kerosene alternative as fuel, which is not only a friendlier option for the environment, but also supports local biofuel producers.
