===Decision for a new airport connection===
When the [[Parliament of Norway]] on 8 October 1992 decided to build a new central airport for [[Eastern Norway]], they also decided that the main mode of ground transport should be by rail. While the previous airport, [[Oslo Airport, Fornebu]], was located just outside the city limits, the new airport, Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, would be located {{convert|50|km|mi}} north of the city, outside the reach of existing [[public transport]]. The principle of the airport construction was that it was not to be footed by the tax payers; the entire airport would be built with [[debt|borrowed money]] through [[Oslo Airport, Gardermoen|Oslo Lufthavn AS]], a subsidiary of the [[Avinor|Norwegian Airport Administration]]. The same principle was chosen for the airport rail link—the Norwegian State Railways (NSB) creating the [[aksjeselskap|limited company]] subsidiary '''NSB Gardermobanen AS''', founded on 24 November 1992, to perform the construction of the line. It would be able to charge train operators using the line, channeling the payments to cover down payments and interest of the debt used to build the railway. [[Profit margin]] was estimated to 7.5%.<ref name=history />
