The Standing Committee on Transport and Communications has proposed that the government return to the Storting with a report by the revised budget for 2026, examining Avinor's plans to shut down ground-based navigation systems and clarifying the consequences for flight safety, regularity, and costs. According to the Minister's letter, the government acknowledges that GNSS disruptions have become a global problem, and the committee majority recommends the government consider phasing in alternative systems such as eLoran or new radars to ensure redundancy in aviation.
