(Mallorca): the Government sent earlier this year released a consultation paper about globalization and increased competition in the airline industry.
In the høringsnotatet is it that Scandinavia collectively has a certain number of overflight rights over Siberia. These rights are divided into groups of destinations, and that the SAS today utilize the majority of The common quota to Japan and China.
In its official response to the note taking Skånvik for what she describes as a major competitive disadvantage, namely that the English do not have access to overflyging of the Russian federation on an equal footing with the competition.
Airlines have to fly impossible detour
the Consequence with the current model is that, for example, English must fly an impossible detour to potential new destinations in countries such as China and Japan. In practice it slows a pro also for Oslo airport, ” says communications director Anne-Sissel Skånvik in Norwegian Finansavisen today.
direct flights to destinations such as Seoul, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, and Tokyo are examples of traffic Norway may miss out, ” she says.
And it is because Norwegian does not fly through the so-called “Siberia-the corridor”.
This is a very important issue for the Norwegian, but it should also be there for all those who will have increased tourism and more jobs in the Norway, says Skånvik and expects that the Norwegian government is intensifying efforts to ensure equal treatment for the English.
In the note it states also that the Ministry “will consider further how a process” with the better to secure overflight rights over Siberia, also for companies other than SAS is the most appropriate can be added up.
– Not good enough, acknowledge Skånvik in so.
– What do you see?
– What we want to fix up, is the old scandinavian cooperation makes that Norway pr. today is the big loser, answer Skånvik, and adds that it worked for 50-60 years ago does not make it longer in the day.
Negotiations continue
Ministry of transport and communications states that it is not up to the Norwegian authorities alone to decide who will fly over Russia.
” The fact that SAS is the company that “disposes of most of the overflyvningsrettighetene” is first and foremost historically contingent, in that English was not an actor on the international market today at the time these rights were negotiated, type Frøydis Tornøe, senior communications advisor at Ministry of transport and communications, to the newspaper.
She points out that it is not up to the Norwegian authorities alone to decide who shall have these rights, and the scope of them.
This is a forhandlingstema between the contracting parties. This is one of the themes in our luftfartsforhandlinger with Russia, ” she.
Norway had luftfartsforhandlinger with the Russian federation in June 2016, and it is planned that they will continue in February 2017.
