Importance of aviation in higher education

Author's accepted version (post-print).Available from 09/08/2020.Air transport is particularly important for countries with geographically scattered settlements, where ground transport can be time consuming. Norway is one such country, and Norwegian authorities regard aviation as a regional policy instrument; therefore, they procure unprofitable air services in rural areas. To increase human capital in rural areas, Norway has a decentralised system of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This paper evaluates the importance of aviation to this HEI system and estimates the welfare effects from aviation on their students and employees. We found that the number of job-related air trips completed by HEI employees is significantly higher than the average number of business trips in Norwegian enterprises. The number of air trips per HEI employee are highest in the regions furthest from the capital; as such, the welfare effects of aviation are greatest for HEIs in the most peripheral regions. To maintain the positive effect of aviation on HEIs, effective flight connections and the establishment of meeting venues where the HEIs management, airline representatives, airport management, and politicians can discuss measures to increase the benefits for HEIs and society are crucial.acceptedVersio

Public Service Obligation as a tool for implementing flight routes operated by electric aircrafts

Hovedformålet med denne rapporten er å undersøke hvilke erfaringer myndighetene kan ta med seg fra prosessen med innføring av nullutslippsfartøy i fergedriften i Norge når de gjennom kjøp av flyruter (FOT-ruter) skal legge til rette for at fly som får energien fra batterier eller andre nullutslippskilder skal kunne erstatte fly som benytter fossilt drivstoff. For å tilrettelegge for bruk av elektriske fly på disse rutene er det, basert på erfaringene fra fergeanbudene, viktig at Samferdselsdepartementet, foretar en kartlegging av strømforsyning og strømbehovet for alle flyplassene, involverer Avinor, Luftfartstilsynet og sikkerhetsmyndighetene, innleder en dialog med leverandører og underleverandører til luftfartsnæringen og starter arbeidet med utforming av nye anbudskontrakter. The main aim of this report is to investigate what experiences the authorities can draw from the recent process of introducing zero-emission vessels in ferry operations in Norway when, in purchasing air routes (PSO routes), they facilitate the replacement of aircraft powered by fossil fuels with ones that receive their energy from batteries or other zero-emission sources. In order to facilitate the use of electric aircraft on these routes, it is important that the Ministry of Transport, conducts a survey of power supply and power requirements for the airports, involves the airport owner and the safety authorities, initiates a dialogue with airlines, suppliers and subcontractors to the aviation industry and starts working on the design of new tender contracts
