NEFAB has in close cooperation with DK SE FAB, within an agreed concept, implemented a continuous and seamless Free route Airspace (FRA) across the two FABs (North European Free Route Airspace (NEFRA) Program). Seamless FRA interface was finalised in May 2017, allowing unrestricted FRA operation across the borders of all six states (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Estonia and Latvia) in both FABs. Future NEFAB FRA-cooperation will take place under the so-called Borealis Alliance umbrella. An extensive upgrade of the main Norwegian ATM system is planned for 2023, and this upgrade will facilitate the implementation of several LSSIP objectives. The project is named FAS (Future ATM-system). In addition, Avinor AS and Avinor Flysikring AS have several large projects under way to improve ATM in Norway, described in detail in chapter 4. In 2018, Avinor Flysikring AS declared Datalink service compliance within the mandated region in Norway (south of 61⁰30’) by 2023 and is planning full Norway FIR coverage by 2024. CAA Norway together with Avinor Flysikring AS have formally informed the EFTA Surveillance Authority, -and have held a bi-lateral meeting with the SESAR Deployment Manager regarding DLS implementation issue in Brussels. In 2013, Avinor Flysikring AS initiated a project to develop and implement a remote tower solution for selected Avinor airports. In August 2015, a contract was signed with Kongsberg Defense System for the delivery of remote towers to 15 airports, with possible further expansion in the coming years. The inauguration of the Main Remote Tower Centre (MRTC) in Bodø took place in October 19, 2020. Four Avinor regional airports are currently operated from the Bodø CRTC. Additionally, two airports will be operated from the MRTC within the summer of 2021. The project’s overall ambition in phase 1 is to operate a total of fifteen airports remotely from the MRTC-center with an option of additional ten airports in phase 2. Due to ICAO-requirements, Norway ACC, including Norway FIR/CTA and Norway Control was in November 2020, obliged to change names respectively to Polaris ACC, Polaris FIR/CTA and Polaris Control. Sandefjord Airport Torp is owned and operated by Sandefjord Airport AS. 86.5 percent of the shares are county/municipally owned. 13.5 percent of the shares are owned by private investors. In 2016, Sandefjord Airport Torp initiated an international procurement process for the provision of Air Navigation Services (ANS) service at the airport. Avinor Flysikring AS was awarded the contract with a duration of 5 years. LSSIP Year 2020 Norway 1 Released Issue In April 2020, provision of ATS at Kristiansand Airport Kjevik and Ålesund Airport Vigra was successfully handed over from Avinor Flysikring AS to SAERCO as a result of the procurement process in 2018/2019. The Royal Norwegian Air Force operates four airports in Norway, of which 3 are open for commercial civil traffic. Avinor Flysikring AS provides ATS to all of these airports. Avinor operates the passenger terminals at two of the military operated airports (Bardufoss and Andøya Airport), but not at Ørland Airport. The following airports are privately owned and are fully operated by the owners; Notodden, Stord, Spitsbergen, Ny Ålesund, Svea and Arendal Airports. Haugesund Airport, Karmoy changed operator and ownership in May 2019. The Airport was previously owned and operated by Avinor AS, and is now operated by Flyplassdrift AS. The operator Flyplassdrift AS, is privately owned by Wideroes Ground Handling AS and Lufthavnutbygging AS. Avinor Flysikring AS provides ATS at Haugesund Airport, Karmoy. A liaison officer from the Royal Norwegian Air Force is permanently present at the offices of CAA‐Norway to improve military coordination of airspace usage, facilitate consultation on regulatory matters concerning the military and safeguarding military interests within domains managed by CAA‐Norway. The liaison has also contributed to facilitating the LSSIP process.
