Remote Tower in Norway Guides Its First Commercial Flight
Avinor expects its remote tower project to begin serving Røst, Norway, in the second-half of 2022.

Avinor Air Navigation Services on October 19 successfully guided its first commercial passenger flight­—aboard a Wideroe Dash 8-100 turboprop—to the Arctic airport of Røst in Norway using its remote tower technology. A collaboration among the airport, state-owned Avinor, and the technology companies Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace and Indra, the remote tower project allows for one person to control traffic at multiple airports from the same location, thereby improving efficiency and reducing costs as many of the control towers in Norway come due for refurbishment or replacement.
