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—and it ensures people living in remote areas also have short distances to jobs, hospitals, education, and more, thanks to financing from larger airports. Avinor is a key player in making aviation greener and more sustainable long-term. We collaborate closely with environmental organizations and play a central role in developing sustainable aviation fuel and electric aircraft. This is critical to our continued existence and represents an exceptionally exciting field involving innovation and collaboration with many interesting partners. We are also actively pursuing fossil-free self-propulsion. For Avinor to continue delivering world-class services and products, everyone must contribute to their development. Therefore, it goes without saying that all types of employees are welcome—regardless of background, orientation, ethnicity, religion, functional ability, or age. Everyone should feel welcome here!
