He often stops by Stavanger Airport for work, and he is also the one who sent news the toilet ticket. – Before, I had decent facilities, and you could buy soft drinks and coffee.

At the same time, there is no feedback they have received before. – We have cleaning once a week. The boss is emptied more often than that, she says.

As the drivers had a living room and a toilet, it wasn’t long before they got dirty. The challenges were raised with the industry without improvement. When the depot was moved, the airport decided to just set up festival doors.
