'''Fornebu''' (local form ''Fornebo'') is a peninsular area in the suburban municipality of [[Bærum]] in [[Norway]], bordering western parts of [[Oslo]].

[[Oslo Airport, Fornebu]] (FBU) served as the main airport for Oslo and the country since before [[World War II]] and until the evening of October 7, 1998, when it was closed down. Overnight, a grand moving operation was performed, so that the following morning, the new main airport, located inland at [[Oslo Airport, Gardermoen|Gardermoen]] (OSL), opened for operations as the main airport, as opposed to previously having been a minor airport.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}

As of 2001, the Fornebu area is being developed as a centre for [[information technology]] and [[telecommunications|telecom]] industry, as well as there being some housing project developments nearby. The new headquarters of Norway's telecom giant [[Telenor]] are located in the area.<ref>Telenor press release [http://press.telenor.com/PR/200209/874437_5.html "Telenor’s new headquarters to open on September 23", September 22, 2002. ] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080607011158/http://press.telenor.com/PR/200209/874437_5.html |date=June 7, 2008 }}</ref>

The peninsula is connected to [[Langodden]] and [[Snarøya]], which are more established areas of private residences.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}

==Etymology==
[[File:Statoil fornebu IMG 4600.JPG|thumb|left|[[Equinor]] headquarters building in Fornebu (2012)]]

The name ([[Old Norse|Norse]] ''Fornabú(ð)'') originally belonged to an old farm on the peninsula. The first element is the genitive form of an old male name ''Forni'', the last element is ''bú'' n 'farm' (or maybe ''búð'' f '[[shed]], simple house').
