Norway Postpones Financial Aid Cuts for Student Pilot, Securing Accessibility for Aviation Training

Sandefjord, Norway – Norway’s Pilot Flight Academy has welcomed the Transport and Communications Committee’s decision to postpone the proposal to remove extended financial support for Norwegian pilot students. The postponement ensures that aspiring pilots can continue to access funding through Lånekassen, safeguarding the future of pilot training and the aviation sector in Norway.

  • The decision delays the removal of additional loans for pilot training by one year, preserving financial accessibility for students.
  • Without this support, pilot training would have become unaffordable for many, potentially limiting enrollment to wealthier candidates.
  • The decision impacts not only flight schools but also Norway’s aviation industry, transport sector, and emergency preparedness.
  • Norway’s demanding geography and weather conditions underscore the need for skilled pilots from diverse financial backgrounds.

Statements

  • “Without the extra loan from Lånekassen, pilot training would have been limited to the wealthiest, impacting not just flight schools but the entire aviation sector, transport industry, and emergency preparedness in Norway,” Pilot Flight Academy said. “We’re so relieved and grateful that the Transport and Communications Committee has listened to our input and decided to review this matter further.”
