Editing Oslo Airport, Gardermoen (section)

===Terminal===
The passenger terminal covers {{convert|265000|m2|}}.<ref name="bredal42" /> The airport has 72 gates, of which 44 are bridge-connected and 28 are remote stands.<ref name="bredal42" />

The original west wing of the terminal contains the domestic A-gates. The west wing also connects to the south pier that contains the eight B-gates, all of which lack jet bridges. This south pier was constructed in 2012 to compensate for the gates lost while the north pier was being built, and was intended for demolition after five years,<ref>{{Cite news |last=Fonbæk |first=Dag |date=31 August 2012 |title=Hurra, nå slipper du å busse til flyet på Gardermoen! |language=no |publisher=VG |url=http://www.vg.no/forbruker/reise/reiseliv/hurra-naa-slipper-du-aa-busse-til-flyet-paa-gardermoen/a/10060201/ |access-date=15 June 2014}}</ref> but in 2018 a [[moving walkway]] to the pier was installed and Avinor expressed its intention to make the pier permanent.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Flaatten |first=Camilla |date=12 October 2018 |title=Denne gaten på Oslo Lufthavn er hatet og fryktet.

The east pier of the original terminal is for international flights.

A notable feature of the airport is that it is "silent", so announcements for flights are only made in the immediate vicinity of the gate.<ref>Bredal, 1998: 188–190</ref>

Many international passengers connecting to domestic flights have to pick up their luggage, show it to customs and check in the luggage again. Some transit passengers avoid Oslo Airport and look for other routing options because of this.{{Citation needed|date=December 2022}} The process of clearing customs before connecting from an international to a domestic flight is not unique for Oslo Airport, as it is the same process used at international airports in the United States and some other countries.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Customs May Be Simplified |language=no |work=Aftenbladet.no |url=http://www.aftenbladet.no/innenriks/okonomi/Tollklarering-kan-bli-enklere-2865876.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120720214016/http://www.aftenbladet.no/innenriks/okonomi/Tollklarering-kan-bli-enklere-2865876.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=20 July 2012 }}</ref> Most passengers whose inbound flight is with SAS, Norwegian or Widerøe and who are connecting on a through ticket can instead use the domestic transfer customs process that avoids this, although certain flight origins are excluded.<ref>{{Cite web |last=<!--Not stated--> |title=Domestic transfer |url=https://avinor.no/en/airport/oslo-airport/plan-your-trip/transfer/domestic-transfer |access-date=29 March 2022 |website=Avinor.no |publisher=Avinor}}
