Cloud9 has released Bergen-Flesland airport for Flight Simulator X:
Bergen Airport, Flesland (Norwegian: Bergen lufthavn, Flesland) (IATA: BGO, ICAO: ENBR) is the airport in Bergen, Norway, located 19 km south of the city center. It was opened in 1955, and built with funds from NATO. It has functioned as a combined civil and military airport since its opening. The first steps towards an airport at Flesland were taken in 1937 when parts of the farm Flesland were expropriated by the City. In 1952 the authorities decided to build an airport there, and in 1955 it was finished with a runway at 2 999 meters. The original airport was primarily financed by NATO. A new terminal opened in 1988 and a new tower in 1991.
Flesland is Norway’s second largest airport, having 88,929 aircraft movements and 3,863,198 passengers in 2005. Seven airlines offer domestic flights to 16 destinations while twelve airlines offer flights to more than 20 international destinations, including daily flights to Aberdeen, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, London and Riga. Some of the traffic comes from Flesland’s role as a hub for regional traffic from Sogn og Fjordane, with many flights with small Dash 8 airplanes operated by Widerøe and ATR 42 planes by Danish Air Transport. The old terminal is converted to a heliport, which primarily serves oil platforms in the North Sea. Still, the most important route is the one to Oslo, with about 25 daily flights with Boeing 737 aircraft operated by Norwegian and SAS Braathens. This route is the seventh largest in Europe.
Its current terminal was designed by the local architect Halfdan Grieg and was opened in 1988. The same architect also designed the old terminal. The terminal has 11 gates with jetbridges, numbered 21-32 (gate 30 is for airplanes on the apron). In general, gates on the south side of the terminal are used for international flights while gates on the north side are for domestic flights. Gates in the middle have various assignments.
