    Introducing ENBR, Flesland intl in Norway

    New member here, so hello to everybody, and thought I would introduce my local airport, since I couldn't find any photos from there already here.

    Flesland is the second largest airport in Norway when counting traffic. The biggest airlines are Scandinavian Airlines and Norwegian.

    Our runway is far from flat as you can see.


    757's are sadly relatively rare in Europe, but happily a few airlines serving Flesland use them.

    Air Baltic


    Icelandair


    Widerøe flies to Flesland with both Dash8-100's -300's and as pictured here Q400's.


    Always good to see friendly pilots.


    We have alot of helicopter traffic to Norways many oil installation. This is one of CHC Norway's brand new EC225's.


    We rarely get intercontinental traffic, but in the summer we usually get a few flights from Japan with tourists coming to see the fjords.




    This 727 arrived this saturday and was my first time seeing a 727 live. :)


    So that's my short introduction of Flesland airport in Bergen, Norway.
    If you would like to see more, I have a flickr account up and running.

    Welcome aboard! It's always nice to see pictures from different places. You have some mighty fine work, however, the AirBaltic 757 is perfect, and I'm loving the shot of that EC225.

    Really crisp refreshing shots to see, the background scenery looks very picturesque.

    Here are a few more. :)

    One of two Dauphin helicopters used to fly out ship pilots (los in norwegian).




    During the ash caos in Europe this spring, we had this rare machine get stuck for a few days.

    I love the Scandinavian Airlines plane. Also, that Russian plane, or one like it, was in Miami recently. I don't remember where I saw that picture, but I'd love to compare the registration numbers to see if it was the same plane.

    Great shots!
