The aviation industry will face numerous challenges in the near future in terms of the environment and sustainability but also connectivity.<\/span> Airports already possess strong awareness of environmental aspects and implement various environmental measures.<\/span> In addition to this, the preparation of our regional airports for commercial electric aviation will require a great deal, but there is also an opportunity to realize a currently underdeveloped transport potential.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In March and April, the electric aviation project FAIR and its partners visited Kokkola-Pietarsaari Airport, Sein\u00e4joki Airport, Lycksele Airport, Hemavan Airport, and Sandnessj\u00f8en Airport, and presented the project for financiers and partners in Mo i Rana, Norway, and at Vaasa Energy Week in Finland.<\/span> Coordinated site visits to the airports and organized meetings with project stakeholders were very rewarding.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Meeting the airports\u2019 employees, learning about their operations, and listening to local and regional politicians\u2019 perspectives on the significance of aviation for the business sector and development provide valuable input for our ongoing work, states <\/span>Mr Arne Smedberg,<\/span><\/b> CEO at BioFuel Region and an active participant in the project work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are some short summaries of the airport activities and discussions:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

The FAIR-team at Lycksele Airport.<\/p><\/div>\n

Lycksele Airport<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lycksele Airport is a regional airport centrally located in the county of V\u00e4sterbotten and it connects the surrounding area to Stockholm by offering two daily flights. The airport also facilitates an ambulance helicopter which provides a vital accessibility to hospital care in a vast region. Thank you for the hospitality and rewarding discussions on electric aviation and needed infrastructure at the airport!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

The FAIR-team at Sandnessj\u00f8en Airport, Stokka.<\/p><\/div>\n

Sandnessj\u00f8en Airport (Stokka)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sandnessj\u00f8en Airport (Stokka) is beautifully located close to Sandnessj\u00f8en and is owned and operated by Avinor. With a takeoff runway of 1199 meters, it is a part of the Norwegian short-takeoff-and-landing network and very well suited for electric aviation. We also got the opportunity to listen to the development plans of both Sandnessj\u00f8en Airport and Br\u00f8nn\u00f8ysund Airport. As both airports already serve regional flight connections, the shift to sustainable fuels both at the ground service and in the air, are very much in focus. Thanks for the hospitality!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hemavan Airport<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Located almost in the middle of the ski slope of Hemavan, the airport supports air traffic to Stockholm 6 days a week. As a popular ski resort, the airport plays an important role in providing accessibility both for the inhabitants, but also for the growing tourism sector. Thanks for important talks on accessibility and how electric aviation can serve Hemavan in the future!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

The FAIR-team at Kokkola-Pietarsaari Airport.<\/p><\/div>\n

Kokkola-Pietarsaari Airport<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In May\u202fthe FAIR team visited the Kokkola-Pietarsaari airport. Rewarding discussions about regional flights and possibilities with electric flights in a near future were on the agenda. The discussions were spiced up by the news about the plans to soon start an east-west flight route between Kokkola-Pietarsaari and Skellefte\u00e5. Thank you for an exciting visit!\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sein\u00e4joki Airport<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The FAIR team also met up at Sein\u00e4joki Airport.\u00a0<\/span>Thank you for good discussions about FAIR, the future of the airport, and the cooperation with\u202fDronamics.\u00a0<\/span>We look forward to continuing following the exciting ongoing development!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About the project<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAIR (Finding innovations to Accelerate the Implementation of electric Regional aviation)\u00a0is a first step of preparing the Kvarken and Nordland region for an early implementation of electric aviation.<\/em><\/p>\n

The project increases the knowledge base, investigates the possibilities and surveys both the needs and the required technical investments.<\/em><\/p>\n

The project\u2019s partnership consists largely of actors in three Ostrobothnian Counties (Finland), V\u00e4sterbotten (Sweden) and Nordland (Norway).<\/em><\/p>\n

This project is in line with the Traffic strategy for the E12-region with goals for carbon neutral transport as well as measures aimed at investigating east-west regional flight routes.<\/em>
\nFinanced by Interreg Botnia-Atlantica<\/em><\/p>\n
