Bus
The local bus (line 35 Tveit) is the local bus service between the city of Kristiansand and Kjevik. As any local route, line 35 follows a scheduled route/time plan, and will not customize its departure times due to for example delayed flight arrivals. Line 35 departs from bus stop A at the terminal, at 5 minutes to each hour. It takes approximately 33 minutes from the airport to the city center. We advise you to download the AKT travel planner and mobile app.

Taxi
Approx. 400 NOK one way for up to four persons. Please note that there are fixed rates from/to the airport.
