B<\/span>y 2040, all short-haul flights within Norway and neighbouring countries lasting up to one-and-a-half hours should be operated by electric aircraft, forecasts Norwegian airport operator Avinor. In the transition to all-electric aircraft operations, the country, which aims to be the world\u2019s first to switch to electric air transport, will ramp up use of sustainable aviation fuels and hopes to have a small electric plane with 19 seats operating on a commercial route starting in 2025. Over the past year, a number of electric or hybrid-electric commercial aircraft projects have hit the headlines, the latest an announcement by Airbus, Siemens and Rolls-Royce that they are to collaborate on designing a demonstrator hybrid-electric regional aircraft that is anticipated to fly in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cElectric aircraft are set to significantly improve the environmental consequences of the aviation industry,\u201d said Avinor CEO Dag Falk-Petersen. \u201cIt could also be cheaper to fly as operating costs for several aircraft models will be considerably lowered, which will have an impact on ticket prices.\u201d<\/p>\n
