Norway plans to electrify all domestic flights under 1.5 hours by 2040, backed by airport operator Avinor and strong green policies. A key milestone was the Beta Alia CX300's 55-minute, 220-mile test flight from Stavanger to Bergen, proving electric aircraft can meet regional travel needs. With short routes and sustainability goals, Norway is investing in infrastructure and testing to lead the shift to zero-emission aviation.
