Summary

Seven MPs have put forward a proposal asking the government to facilitate the sale of Haugesund Airport Karmøy. The proposers argue that the airport has been successfully run locally since 2003, but that the current hybrid model—combining state ownership with private management—has become vulnerable due to the coronavirus pandemic and rising costs. They contend that selling to local owners would secure the airport's future as a regional hub for business and tourism.
