Increased competition in aviation has negative effects on pay and working conditions
After Norwegian airlines got access to the European aviation market cabin crew have become a low-paid occupational group.
As a result of the EU/EC's three aviation packages in 1986, 1990 and 1992, the EEA area became a common aviation area with harmonized regulation. Through its EEA agreement,...

Electric flight route Stavanger-Bergen – Commitment to testing electric planes is socially beneficial
An investment in a demonstration case with electric planes on the Stavanger-Bergen route in the 2020s can accelerate electric aircraft in Norwegian aviation and thus have a greater net societal benefit than not investing in electric aviation.
This is the main conclusion in a new report from the...

Opportunities for a new market in electrified regional flight
Large, electrified aircraft is far off in the future. On the other hand, there may be potential for a new market with smaller regional flights. These are the conclusions of a literature survey made by researchers at VTI.
Greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector have increased from just...

Sustainability a long way off for aviation
It is hardly a secret that aviation must reduce its negative impact on the climate. This will require either less air travel or a breakthrough in sustainable aviation fuels.
Emissions per flight are decreasing, thanks to more efficient engines, lighter aircraft, more seats per aircraft, and...
