Flight service reductions at Molde Airport

Overview

Molde Airport, Årø, is experiencing significant service reductions as major airlines announce schedule cuts for the autumn season. Widerøe is reducing its daily weekday service between Molde and Bergen from four round trips to two, while also eliminating all Saturday services to Bergen.

Norwegian is reducing its route frequency between Molde and Oslo by approximately 30%, which includes cutting one weekday round trip and reducing Sunday services. These reductions follow the departure of SAS from the airport. The decline in service has led some business travelers to use nearby airports such as Kvernberget or Vigra to maintain access to SkyTeam alliances. There are ongoing concerns regarding the ability of Molde Lufthavnutvikling to secure the airport’s long-term viability and regional connectivity.
