Norway Slams Shut Nine Small Airports Amid COVID Crisis
Avinor, the main operator of Norwegian airports, has revealed plans to close nine small airports across the country. The shutdown kicks in from 8am this Monday.
COVID-19 Hits Travel Hard
The travel sector in Norway is still reeling from the coronavirus pandemic. Starting next Wednesday, nine airports with short runways will shut their doors to all commercial flights. This severe move follows tough new restrictions laid down by the Norwegian Prime Minister just yesterday.
What This Means for Travellers
- Nine small airports will no longer serve commercial passengers.
- Closures start Monday at 8am, with full suspension from Wednesday.
- Move aims to curb virus spread amid a worsening outbreak.
Norway’s travel woes are far from over as the country tightens its grip to beat the coronavirus surge.
