The flights, which are being conducted in cooperation with Avinor and the Civil Aviation Authority of <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span> (CAA Norway), mark a step toward integrating and scaling Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span> and the surrounding regions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference\" id=\"DivAssetPlaceHolder1\">\n<p>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/2746873\/Bristow_ALIA.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/2746873\/Bristow_ALIA.jpg\" title=\"All-electric ALIA CX300 flies over Norway\" alt=\"All-electric ALIA CX300 flies over Norway\" \/><br \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Test Arena will consist of a series of evaluation flights over the next several months, to test likely customer routes at Avinor-owned airports throughout <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span>. Early routes will see ALIA fly between Stavanger and Bergen airports, with potential for the program to expand to additional routes across <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span> later this year. The aircraft will be flown by BETA-trained Bristow pilots.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s flight was conducted by Bristow pilot, <span class=\"xn-person\">Jeremy Degagne<\/span>, and Beta pilot, <span class=\"xn-person\">Nate Dubie<\/span>. In addition to kicking off <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway&#8217;s<\/span> first Test Arena, this flight represents another key step on the road to commercializing AAM. A BETA-trained Bristow crew will pilot and maintain BETA&#8217;s aircraft throughout the six-month regulatory sandbox evaluation project helping pave the way for future delivery and integration of this technology into the region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a nation wholly dependent on aviation \u2014 today as well as in the future \u2014 transitioning to a more sustainable aviation industry is a major priority for my government,&#8221; said <b>Minister of Transport Jon-Ivar Nyg\u00e5rd<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This first flight represents a significant step on a long and complex journey. As the Test Arena demonstrates, cooperation between authorities, airports, manufacturers, operators \u2014 and not least, political support \u2014 is essential. The systemic approach the Test Arena facilitates is unique, and I am proud that <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span> is at the forefront.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s test flight is an important step in turning climate policy into practical solutions. If we are to succeed with the green transition, we must test, learn and build \u2013 not just plan. With this test arena, <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span> is taking a leading role in the development of zero-emission aviation, while also creating new opportunities for green jobs and innovation,&#8221; said <b>Minister of Climate and Environment <span class=\"xn-person\">Andreas Bjelland Eriksen<\/span><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bristow is proud to be a part of this cutting-edge program and our participation in this test arena directly aligns with our philosophical &#8216;crawl, walk, run&#8217; approach to developing Advanced Air Mobility for commercial operations,&#8221; said <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Dave Stepanek<\/span>, Bristow&#8217;s Executive Vice President, Chief Transformation Officer<\/b>. &#8220;The information we learn through the test arena program will provide valuable operational insights that could help operators, manufacturers, and regulators better understand how best to move forward towards commercial operations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To be delivering ALIA to our partners at Bristow and kicking off operational testing here in <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span> is a big moment for BETA,&#8221; said <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Shawn Hall<\/span>, BETA&#8217;s Chief Revenue Officer<\/b>. &#8220;Bristow has been with us from the start and shares our drive for progress, and <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span>, with its spirit of innovation and modernization, is a perfect place to move this technology forward. Handing off the aircraft to a customer is, in part, a huge milestone, but it&#8217;s also an important launchpad for all that comes next for the industry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span> has already established itself as a leader in innovative clean mobility, with electric cars comprising 89 percent of new car registrations in 2024. This Test Arena is an evaluation of the benefits of AAM for the region and its residents \u2014 as well as an investigation into the requirements to build out an ecosystem for integrated operations.<\/p>\n<p>With its unique design that optimizes for payload, range, and IFR capabilities, ALIA is well-suited for <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway&#8217;s<\/span> distributed geography and cold-weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This essential and meaningful step will support the industry, accelerate innovation in new mobility, and strengthen our expertise. We are excited to continue this critical work&#8221;, said <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Lars Kobberstad<\/span>, Director General of CAA Norway<\/b>. &#8220;Aviation is a safe mode of transport and a well-regulated sector. As the aviation authority, we will ensure that we facilitate testing new technologies and contribute to safe testing and future integrations. We will learn how rules and regulations must evolve to enable new technologies and concepts. Through this, we aim to build the necessary expertise early on for tomorrow&#8217;s solutions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The first flight of the Test Arena is a major milestone for Norwegian aviation and for Avinor, and a key step towards future commercial operations of zero- and low-emission flights in <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span>,&#8221; said <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Abraham Foss<\/span>, Avinor&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer<\/b>. &#8220;As a small, open economy with a dispersed population, <span class=\"xn-location\">Norway<\/span> is entirely dependent on aviation and its broad network of airports.
