Norway tests tiny electric plane, sees passenger flights by 2025
OSLO: Norway tested a two-seater electric plane on Monday and predicted a start to passenger flights by 2025 if new aviation technologies match a green shift that has made Norwegians the world’s top buyers of electric cars.
Transport Minister Ketil Solvik-Olsen and Dag Falk-Petersen, head of state-run Avinor which runs most of Norway’s airports, took a few minutes’ flights around Oslo airport in an Alpha Electro G2 plane, built by Pipistrel in Slovenia.
“This is ... a first example that we are moving fast forward”…
