 In November 1998 , Color Air introduced a new cheapest ticket for NOK 345 . After the winter settled , the ice front between Color Air and Braathens grew colder following Braathens ' denying Color Air to use their deicing equipment at Ålesund , resulting in the plane being stuck at the airport . By the end of 1998 , it became clear that Braathens had increased capacity with 20 % , but only achieved a 5 @.@ 2 % ridership increase after the opening of Gardermoen . Similar numbers were applicable for SAS . The business market , in particular the large corporations with divisions in several cities , were demanding high frequencies on the routes . Color Air could get by with fewer departures , because they mainly targeted the leisure segment . In particular , the routes from Oslo to Ålesund and Kristiansand had a very low seat utilization ; to Ålesund there were 1 @.@ 2 million flown seats annually , but only 345 @,@ 000 passengers , giving a 29 % cabin load .
