Pollution is one is one of the biggest problem of world. And the green house gases are one of the main components of this. To overcome this problem many transportation companies are going on electric instead of oil. We see that cars, bikes and even rails are now moving on electricity.
And now aviation industry are also wants to follow the same path.
Norway is taking lead in this field. Norway planning to take all its short-haul flights on electricity by 2040.
Avinor, the agency which operates most of Norway’s civil airport is aiming to be the “first in the world” to switch to electricity air transport.
In a 2017 report, Avinor announced that in cooperation with the Norwegian Sports Aviation Association and major airlines, it had set up a development project for electric aircraft. It said it had “called for Norway to be established as a test arena and innovation center for the development of electric aircraft”.
Avinor intends to reduce aircraft greenhouse gas emission in the short term by phasing in biofuels in the upcoming years, and build on reductions by phasing in electric planes.
According to official statics air transport accounts for 2.4% of Norwegian greenhouse gas emission for domestic traffic and more than double that when international routes are included.
Electric air travel will also at least halve noise level and the operating cost of aircraft.
“What’s particularly exiting is that you will reduce cost of passengers to a much lower level”,

According to its Chief Executive, Dag Falk Petersen
“We think that all flights lasting upto 1.5 hrs can be flown by aircraft that are entirely electric. When we reach to our goal, air travel will no longer be a problem for climate, it will be a solution”.
