Norway plans to introduce large-scale electric aircraft.

According to the information provided by the Avia.pro information and news resource, by 2040 the authorities of Norway intend to force domestic air carriers to switch to the operation of electric aircraft. At the moment it is known that initially those carriers that perform flights at short distances will fall, however, later, such a resolution will affect absolutely all the route directions served by airlines from Norway.

To date, almost all major world aircraft manufacturers, including Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier are working on the creation of electric passenger planes, and although a short flight is one of the most significant shortcomings of this approach, in the future, it will give a lot of benefits, since the operation of electric airliners is much cheaper, besides, no harmful to the environment harmful emissions.

According to preliminary information, the first passenger aircraft operating on electric power will start operating already by 2022 year.
