What changed

The EFTA Surveillance Authority has issued an information notice formally repealing public service obligations (PSOs) that had been imposed on ten Norwegian domestic air routes under Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008. The PSOs, which had been in effect since 1 April 2024, are now scheduled for repeal on 1 November 2027. This affects routes connecting smaller Norwegian cities to Oslo and Bergen.

Air carriers currently operating under these PSOs or planning to do so should note that these route-specific service obligations will cease on the stated date. Operators should monitor Norwegian Ministry of Transport communications for any transitional arrangements or tender processes that may follow the PSO repeal.
