OSLO: Norwegian has revealed that Roald Dahl will become the first person from the UK to be honoured with a tailfin design. The announcement was made last week on the 100th anniversary of the author’s birth. Born in Cardiff of Norwegian descent, Dahl is one of the UK’s most popular authors.
At the beginning of June, the Norwegian government introduced a new air passenger tax for all flights from Norwegian airports. With data now available for June, July and August, the impact of the tax, which amounts to NOK 80 ($10) for flights to destinations outside Norway and NOK 88 ($11) for flights within Norway, is not yet clear to see from traffic data across Norway’s top 10 airports.
