Avinor starts world‑first multi‑airport remote‑tower trial from Bodø linking 14 airports

Avinor has begun a world‑first trial from its Bodø remote‑tower centre, linking digital feeds from 14 airports and testing concurrent operations across four airport pairs — Rørvik–Namsos, Mehamn–Hasvik, Vardø–Berlevåg and Røst–Svolvær. The programme evaluates AFIS officers managing multiple aerodromes from a single workstation.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The trial launched 12 Feb 2026 links digital feeds from 14 regional airports and tests concurrent operations across four airport pairs (Rørvik–Namsos, Mehamn–Hasvik, Vardø–Berlevåg, Røst–Svolvær), a scale and operating model Avinor describes as a world‑first; see this in the context of recent digital tower deployments.

  • The programme specifically evaluates AFIS officers handling multiple aerodromes from one workstation and is being run jointly with the national aviation authority and carrier Widerøe, creating an evidence base for regulatory and operational decisions on remote‑tower rollouts.
