Civilian passenger facilities are operated by Avinor. Official English hub: avinor.no/en/airport/stavanger/. Do not confuse the fixed-wing passenger terminal with the separate offshore helicopter terminal on the same campus, or with Haugesund Airport (HAU) further north. - >- Norway’s fourth-busiest airport with scheduled traffic in 2025: ACI Europe figures published by Flysmart24 list 3,977,045 passengers (−7.1% vs 2024), behind Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim. One main passenger terminal for scheduled airlines; a distinct helicopter terminal handles North Sea offshore crew changes — follow fixed-wing / passenger signage only. Airlines shown on Avinor’s Stavanger hub include SAS, Norwegian, Widerøe, KLM, Lufthansa, LOT, Finnair and Wizz Air (schedules change — check live). - >- Civil/military airfield shared with Sola Air Station. Two asphalt runways: primary 18/36 about 2,705 × 60 m and cross-runway about 2,452 × 45 m (SkyVector / AIP-derived; cross-runway magnetic labels publish as 10/28 or 11/29 by cycle). Field elevation about 9 m / 29 ft. West-coast wind and low cloud are the usual disruption modes — pad same-day connections over OSL. - >- No rail station at the terminal. Flybussen (Boreal) is the default hotel/city coach (~20–30 minutes to Stavanger per Avinor; pay Visa/Mastercard or buy ahead — confirm live fare with the operator). Kolumbus city bus 42 (Jåsund–Tananger–Airport–Sola–Forus–Kvadrat–Sandnes) is the local-network option; adult singles start from NOK 49 and are zone-dependent — buy in the Kolumbus app before boarding. Taxi rank between arrivals and the parking garage with Fast Travel quote kiosks. - >- Security still uses classic cabin liquids: containers ≤100 ml inside one clear resealable ≤1 L bag (Avinor baggage rules). Empty bottles may pass and be refilled after screening; Norwegian tap water is potable. Fast Track, when offered, is airline-product gated — not a free public lane. - >- One passenger lounge: North Sea Lounge (SSP), international airside — walk-up NOK 445 adults / NOK 140 ages 2–11 for up to 3 hours before departure, or NOK 700 for up to 6 hours (Avinor lounge page). Opens when there are flights. Partners listed by Avinor include KLM, Lufthansa group (same-day LH metal rules), SAS Business / EuroBonus Gold–Diamond, Widerøe Flex/Full Flex or Norwegian Reward Priority on Widerøe, airBaltic Business / Club VIP, Finnair, Amex Centurion/Platinum issued in NO/SE/FI, plus Dragon Pass / Lounge Pass / Lounge Key for named Norwegian banks. Priority Pass is not on Avinor’s published SVG access list — confirm any network visit in the live app. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Two runways help — west-coast weather still owns the day detail: >- SVG is a compact single passenger terminal, so security rarely feels like OSL. The schedule risk is Jæren wind/low cloud plus busy SVG–OSL banks and offshore helicopter movements on the shared field. If you connect to a long-haul over Gardermoen, keep an honest buffer even when the landside hall looks empty. International passengers should clear security with time for the non-domestic hold and North Sea Lounge if using it (paid access is capped at 3 or 6 hours before departure). Arrive earlier than the terminal size suggests whenever METAR looks ugly. summary: >- Compact terminal; coastal weather and OSL connections are the real delay modes. category: timing - label: Terminal title: One airline terminal — ignore the helicopter building detail: >- Check-in and bag drop sit landside in the main passenger terminal; after security, follow domestic vs international / Schengen signage before you settle into a café. Gate calls still move — re-check screens for bus-gate walks. The offshore helicopter terminal is a separate facility for North Sea crew changes — irrelevant for SAS/Norwegian/Widerøe/KLM ticket holders. Sola Air Station shares the airfield; stay on yellow/passenger routes only. Scandic Stavanger Airport is a short walk from the terminal if you need a landside room, not a lounge substitute. summary: >- Single passenger terminal; heli terminal is crew-only; military side is not a shortcut. category: terminal - label: Food title: Eat airside from Avinor’s named outlets — or wait for town detail: >- Avinor’s shopping-and-food directory lists Joe & The Juice landside at check-in; airside international Barino (Italian/pinsa), Craft'n Draft gastropub, Point kiosks and Tax Free; domestic Crafts gastropub, Sirkus Renaa (pizza/pasta/pastry), Ark Bookstore, Æra fashion and Travel Value. Prices are full Norwegian-airport sticker shock — Stavanger’s harbour food still wins if your timetable allows. Lounge guests on international departures get the light-meal / soft-drink package inside North Sea Lounge. summary: >- Solid named F&B (Barino, Crafts, Sirkus Renaa, Joe & The Juice); town food still beats a long hold. category: food - label: Status title: Flybussen or Kolumbus 42 — lounge only if flying abroad detail: >- Default city transfer is Flybussen (~20–30 minutes per Avinor; Boreal contact +47 51 59 90 60). Kolumbus bus 42 covers Airport–Sola–Forus– Kvadrat–Sandnes for local network fares (adult singles from NOK 49; zone-dependent). Taxis use Fast Travel kiosks in arrivals and at the rank for an upfront price — mandatory quote rules tightened after Norway’s Nov 2024 taxi-law changes. North Sea Lounge is international airside only; Priority Pass is not on Avinor’s published partner list for SVG. summary: >- Coach is the hotel workhorse; Kolumbus 42 is the value local bus; international-only lounge. category: status lounges: - name: North Sea Lounge zone: >- International airside after security.
