Notodden Airport seeks spring commercial route as state subsidy halved

Based on · First reported 4 Oct 2026

Notodden Airport plans to have a commercial route ready by spring after its state subsidy was cut from 20 million to 10 million kroner last year, and the mayor expects the 10 million kroner subsidy to remain fixed in the upcoming state budget.
The mayor says the full 20 million kroner subsidy will be restored once a commercial route is established, which is expected to include flights to Bergen, and a regional start‑up fund involving four municipalities is being created to support the launch.
