The holiday chaos will never end. There has been a passport queue chaos with the police, a seven-week delivery time from passport manufacturer Thales, overcrowded airports and queue chaos at the largest European airports, an aircraft technician strike in Oslo and perhaps a strike among SAS pilots from Saturday.
On Tuesday night, Anders Haugland (32) barely made it by plane from Gardermoen to London. It had nothing to do with the fact that the aircraft was a SAS aircraft.
The reason was almost an hour’s queue to show a passport at Gardermoen.
– We waited almost an hour in that passport queue. They only had three manned counters. The self-service passport controls were down, says Haugland.
The flight was scheduled to leave at 15.05 on Tuesday afternoon, but was about half an hour late.
– Had to run
– When we got to the plane, it said “Gate closing”, so we had to run to reach it, Haugland says.
On Tuesday, several people tweeted about queues at the passport control at Gardermoen.

«45 minute queue to show a Norwegian passport at the passport control at Gardermoen. Two hatches open are too bad “, writes a Twitter user.
“Problems with the automatic passport scanners at Gardermoen airport”, reports another.
Arrived
Haugland is glad he came with the plane.
