Oslo Rygge Airport (known also as Moss Airport, IATA code: RYG) is located near Rygge in south-eastern Norway approximately 60 km from Oslo. Although the airport has only single terminal building it is quite busy thanks to low cost and charter airlines operating their flights to Oslo at this airport (e.g. Ryanair, Norwegian).
The airport is accessible by NSBs regional train, Rygge-Ekspressen and Local Airport Coach – Flybuss Ryggeeven and what is really interesting it is even accessible for pedestrians and cyclists using the pedestrian and bicycle path following the access road to the airport. Passengers can also rent a car via many car rentals (e.g. Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Sixt) or pay for taxi which can be found just outside the terminal building.
