Most Norwegians—and visitors to Norway—do not think much about Avinor, yet they use almost all our services during air travel. Thanks to these revenues, we can sustain a broad network—including smaller, less profitable airports—through tax-free sales, parking, and airspace user fees. We call this the Avinor Model, which helps residents in remote areas access jobs, hospitals, education, and more thanks to financial support from larger airports. Avinor plays a vital role in making aviation greener and more sustainable over time. We collaborate closely with environmental organisations and are central to developing sustainable aviation fuel and electric aircraft. This is critical to our long-term viability and represents an exciting field involving innovation and collaboration with many interesting partners. We also pursue targeted initiatives toward fossil-free self-propulsion. For Avinor to continue delivering world-class services and products, everyone must contribute to their development.
