The demonstration flights will launch from Stavanger in late summer, initially running between Stavanger and Bergen, with full operations by fall.

vinor and Norway’s Civil Aviation Authority have partnered to develop Norway as a test site for zero and low-emission aviation.

The agreement was signed at Bergen Airport Flesland, with BETA Technologies and Bristow Group’s subsidiary Bristow Norway.

The goal of this initiative is to foster knowledge, learning, and prepare the necessary ecosystem for future scaling.

This involves integrating airlines, manufacturers, suppliers, the energy sector, and other relevant stakeholders into the project.

The demonstration flights, slated to start in the third quarter of 2025, will include cargo operations conducted by Bristow Norway using BETA’s ALIA CX300 electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) aircraft.

These flights, which will initially run between Stavanger Airport and Bergen Airport, aim to kick off from Stavanger in late summer, with the full route operational by fall.
