Nov 30, 2018 (newstodate): Preparations are advancing for Avinor to hand over the operation of Stavanger Airport by spring 2019.
Wideroe Ground Handling and the private company Lufthavnutbygging won the tender for a 20-year commercial concession to develop and manage the airport, and a new company, Lufthavndrift has been established to drive the process.
-All energies are focused on securing a seamless cut-over from Avinor to Lufthavndrift, and the final date will be fixed as we get closer to completing the many issues and tasks involved in the process, says Pal Visnes, Lufthavndrift Project Manager.
-Avinor will continue to be in charge of runway and other pertinent infrastructure while we will take over all other operational responsibilities excluding the ATC.
-Our first and only priority at this stage is thus to work towards taking over the airport, and we are well underway. Only after this target has been reached will we look at various future business opportunities and segments to develop.
Avinor's station manager in charge of Stavanger Airport, Tore Lillenes, has been attached to Lufthavndrift and will take on the responsibility as Stavanger Airport Manager after the take-over.
