[…] Norway, Finland, Sweden, and other countries signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) regarding multinational solutions to make a larger part of national airspace available for NATO at the Defence Ministers’ meeting in October 2023.
The main purpose of the declaration is to enhance the value of Nordic cooperation and integration as an integral part of NATO capabilities. The declaration highlights the important role that further integration can play in Nordic cooperation in general, and the establishes that the Nordic countries will now work together to further develop existing cooperation to meet the growing needs of the Alliance.
‘The declaration may lead to increased Allied activity in Norwegian airspace in the future, which means it will be necessary to review and update our host-nation support and framework for cross-border activities. It is essential that Norway retains control of Allied activities within its areas, and all future solutions will be decided at the national level,’ said Mr Gram. Läs pressmeddelande
