Norwegian airspace has been closed | The world

The cause must be a technical error in Oslo.

– There are two systems that do not talk to each other. And that has meant that we have to close the airspace over the whole of southern Norway, says Ylva Celius Trusen, press spokesperson at Avinor, to NRK.

According to Avinor, it is “impossible” to say how long the problems will last and “significant delays” are expected for the flight.

Those who are going out and traveling are asked to keep track of the information from the airlines.

Geir Dybbugt, who Dagbladet spoke to, is one of many travelers who are affected. He is on his way to Oslo for a doctor’s appointment that he has been waiting for since November, but is now stuck on board a stationary plane with no prognosis.

– The captain of the plane gives us information continuously as they receive information, so luckily the communication is good. Those who wanted to get off the plane because of the situation also had to do so, he tells the newspaper.

Avinor is responsible for 43 state-owned airports and the air traffic control service for civil and military aviation in Norway.

Airlines such as Norwegian have announced delays and canceled flights affecting thousands of passengers.
