Executive Summary
National ATM Context
A major stakeholder organizational change occurred in the main air navigation service provider Avinor AS during 2014. Avinor AS, which provides service to more than 50 airports and 1 Area Control Center in Norway, has decided to separate the ANS provision from the main company. The new ANS Company (Avinor Air Navigation Services AS) was established from 1. June 2014, and is100% owned by Avinor AS.
In 2014 the number of ACC Units in Norway was reduced from 3 to 1. The ACC unit in Norwegian airspace which is of concern to this LSSIP period is Norway ACC. Norway ACC is split into 4 Sector Groups (SG) located on 3 different locations. SG North is located in Bodø, SG West is located in Stavanger and SG East and TMA are located in Oslo (Røyken). There are several other TMAs in Norway; the provision of APP control in these TMAs is still done at the local airport.
The building of the new terminal at Oslo Airport is progressing according to plan, and has not led to delays or disturbance of inbound or outbound traffic. The new terminal is expected to be completed in 2017. Southern Norway Airspace Project (SNAP) was established in November 2014 which led to changes in the airspace including SID / STAR system for airports within the Western and Mid Norway area. The purpose was to improve aviation safety and ensure future increased capacity in affected terminal areas and ACC sectors, standardize and streamline ANS-delivery, as well as continue a good environmental profile for aviation. The project has also established a new approach control for airports ENOV, ENAL, ENML and ENKB at Værnes.
New ATM system for Bodoe Oceanic is planned to be implemented in March 2015, where ADS-C capabilities are also included. The M-ADS system has been used for offshore helicopter operations in combination with radar for Flight Information and Alerting Services in the Ekofisk and Balder ADS areas. The system is now facing end of life and an ADS-B system went operational in Ekofisk FIR in 2014 and is planned to be expanded to the Balder FIR in early 2015. Future plans to expand ADS-B and WAM throughout Norway are in the planning stages.
Traffic and Capacity
Traffic in Norway increased by 1.1% during summer 2014 (May to October), when compared to summer 2013. The EUROCONTROL Seven-Year Forecast predicts an average annual traffic growth between 0.2% and 2.7% throughout the planning cycle 2015-2019, with an average baseline growth of 1.7%. Planning for the 2015-2019 period focuses on the summer season to reflect the most demanding period of the year from a capacity perspective. This approach ensures consistency with the previous planning cycles in all SG’s within Norway ACC.
ESSIP Objective Implementation
The overall situation in the implementation of 2014 ESSIP Objectives in Norway is considered as reasonably good. There are still complications related to the completion of ADQ Objectives, which is late. The ANSP is in the process of implementing a new ADQ compliant AIM system solution, expected to be complete in early 2017. Further, the implementation of ATC air ground data link services above FL285 stopped due to revising of the data link regulation EU 29/2009. Therefor the objective is marked as “no plan”. Preliminary planning has begun for the newest objective INF07.
Implementation of AOM19 and AOM21 are progressing as planned and are the two main objectives coordinated at NEFAB level. FRA is planned to be implemented in NEFAB by mid-November 2015.
LSSIP Year 2014 Norway 2 Released Issue Initial planning started for COM11, including dialogue with system suppliers and network service
providers. However, the status for this objective is listed as “no plan”.
A few SLoAs are completed with regards to FCM01 and FCM03, however, the remaining are either reported as late with a plan for implementation or no plan (implementation plan yet to be developed). Therefor the overall progress for both is "late".
The need has been identified for further coordination between CAA-N and the MAA with regards to MIL related SLoA’s in ITY-SPI and AOM13.1. Military related SLoA’s in both objectives are marked as having no plan.
The objectives FCM04, ITY-ACID, SRC-RLMK and SRC-SLRD are all marked as “not applicable” in Norway for 2014.

Introduction
The Local Single Sky ImPlementation documents (LSSIPs), as an integral part of the ESSIP/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a short/medium term implementation plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the ESSIP and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. The LSSIP document – Year 2014 describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2014.
The LSSIP documents are structured into 6 chapters to better differentiate the Stakeholder(s) accountable for the information contained in each of them:
Chapter 1 provides an overview of the ATM institutional arrangements within the State, the membership of the State in various international organizations, the organizational structure of the main ATM players - civil and military - and their responsibilities under the national legislation. In addition, an overview of the Airspace Organization and Classification, the ATC Units, the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP are also provided in this chapter.
Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive picture of the situation of Air Traffic, Capacity and ATFM Delay per each ACC in the State. It shows the evolution of Air Traffic and Delay in the last five years and the forecast for the next five years. It gives also the achieved performance in terms of delay during the summer season period and the planned projects assumed to offer the required capacity which will match the foreseen traffic increase and keep the delay at the agreed performance level;
Chapter 3 provides a set of recommendations extracted from the ESSIP Report which are relevant to the state/stakeholders concerned. The state reports how they have handled those recommendations and the actions taken during the year to address the concerns expressed by those recommendations;
Chapter 4 provides a set of the main ATM national projects which contribute directly to the implementation of the ATM MP OIs and/or Enablers and ESSIP related Objectives. The description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas are provided by the states per each project included in this chapter;
Chapter 5 deals with the ATM Regional Coordination. It provides an overview of the FAB cooperation and Projects and also all other regional initiatives and Projects which are out of the FAB scope. The content of this chapter generally is developed and agreed in close cooperation between the states concerned;
Chapter 6 contains high-level information on progress and plans of each ESSIP Objective. The information for each ESSIP Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section.
Note: Chapter 6 is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of tables organised in line with the list of ESSIP Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the ESSIP.
Note: The information contained in Chapter 6 is deemed sufficient to satisfy State reporting

The geographical scope of this document addresses the Norway FIR/UIR (since 27 Nov 2003 the Norwegian airspace is established as one single FIR/UIR). Control areas extend between FL 95 and FL 660, the lower level being FL 115 or FL 135 in the highest mountain areas. In addition, controlled airspace in Norway also comprises 17 TMAs, and 19 CTRs.
Two offshore control areas, Statfjord CTA (in the northern North Sea) and Heidrun CTA (est. June 2011, in the Norwegian Sea) are established to support the helicopter traffic related to the Norwegian oil production. Ekofisk ADS-B (in the southern North Sea) for offshore helicopters in the North Sea was implementation during the first half of 2014 and is planned to be extended with the Balder ADS-B project in early 2015. The plan is to upgrade Ekofisk and Balder to control areas (CTA) based on ADS-B surveillance during 2015.
Norway FIR is surrounded by FIRs of 6 States, namely United Kingdom (Scottish FIR), Iceland (Reykjavik FIR), Russia (Murmansk FIR), Finland (Finland FIR), Sweden (Sweden FIR) and Denmark (Copenhagen FIR). Among the above, Russia is the only non-ECAC bordering state.

NEFAB
NEFAB is a functional airspace block created by Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Norway. NEFAB ANSPs has established a programme with a programme management office (PMO) with the objective of managing projects and initiatives among the ANSPs in the cooperation.
The NEFAB Programme develops and maintains regularly 5 year business plans, and on that basis develops the annual business plans for use by NEFAB ANSPs in order to follow up NEFAB Programme projects and activities. The latest 5 year business plan is covering the period 2015 – 2019 with annual plan for 2015. The 5 year business plan describes the strategies for the period with key performance areas and strategic objectives. The annual plan transforms these strategies into concrete activities planned for each year with defined deliverables and milestones. In April 2013 two key projects, Airspace 2015 and ATS Provision 2015, delivered the NEFAB Network Plan based on NEFAB Target Concept 2015. The Target Concept shall be implemented on 12 November 2015. The NEFAB Network Plan describes the operational requirements for the establishment of the airspace concept including free route airspace and service provision within NEFAB.
NEFAB is closely cooperating with DK SE FAB with an agreed concept to implement a continuous FRA from a user perspective across the two FABs (North European Free Route Airspace (NEFRA) Programme). Implementation of the NEFRA programme is planned simultaneously with NEFAB Target Concept.
2015 will be start of new project activities to develop the future airspace concept in NEFAB beyond 2020. This includes multifab FRA covering 3 FABs (NEFAB, DK-SE FAB and UK-IRL FAB), a joint initiative by the ANSPs in the Borealis alliance.
The individual ANSP´s in the FAB-cooperation will implement the required operational changes and technical support to enable the concept described in the NEFAB Target Concept.

cooperation
5.3.1 Regional Cooperation Initiatives
Noracon
NORACON, the NORth European and Austrian CONsortium, consists of nine members. Swedavia (Swedish airports) and eight European ANS providers: Austro Control (Austria), AVINOR (Norway), EANS (Estonia), Finavia (Finland), IAA (Ireland), ISAVIA (Iceland), LFV (Sweden) and Naviair (Denmark).
The purpose of NORACONs membership in the SESAR Joint Undertaking is to ensure impact from the partners in the development of the future European ATM business.
LSSIP Year 2014 Norway 26 Released Issue
The vision of Borealis is to be the leading ANSP Alliance that enables its Members to drive better performance for stakeholders through business collaboration. On the same day the former co-operation agreement known as NEAP (North European ANS Providers) was formally ended.
The objective of the alliance is to enable joint initiatives to improve flight efficiency and reduce environmental impact, delivered across the whole area in a move which will also streamline cost of services and operational/technical infrastructure.
Borealis intends to deliver value through business co-operation between the Members, as well to be collectively more influential by developing and expressing a joint position on common issues. These objectives will be achieved by developing and delivering a joint business plan.
The Agreement does not commit the Members to work towards creating a single combined FAB between their respective States sometime in the future, but it does not preclude such an outcome either.
Regulatory Co-operation
During the establishment of NEFAB there has been close cooperation between the 4 NEFAB NSAs, and this cooperation is now formalised by the NEFAB NSA Committee. There is also established cooperation between the other Nordic NSAs, by the 7-State NSA Cooperation. Meetings between the 4 NEFAB NSAs and representatives from NSA Iceland, Sweden and Denmark have been held, and cooperation is established on areas of common interest.
This cooperation will be continued.
Civil-Military Co-ordination
NEFAB has established the Civil-Military Committee (CMC) that consists of representatives from CAA and MAA. The function of the committee is to:
define areas of cooperation between the Contracting States within the scope of the NEFAB Agreement as regards military aviation;
enhance the use of airspace in NEFAB, taking account of military aviation needs, including military mission effectiveness;
provide for efficient and consistent application of the concept of ‘flexible use of airspace’ by the Contracting States;
provide for the development of arrangements for military training activities regardless of existing boundaries;
Several meetings have taken place, the committee has through 2014 been chaired by MAA Finland and the co-operation has been fruitful.
Military-military Co-ordination
The Strategic Nordic Military ATM Board (SNAB) is established to elaborate, co-ordinate and promulgate the Nordic Military view on ATM matters. It will consider strategic objectives and focus on Nordic issues in relation to pan-European ATM initiatives including security aspects.
The SNAB is composed of senior military officers of the Nordic nations exercising responsibilities as national heads of the Military Air Traffic Management (or its equivalent).
The SNAB will not take decisions as it is a forum for co-ordination of issues. The SNAB may forward recommendations to the nations for staffing and final approval at national level.
5.3.2 Regional Projects
There is a close cooperation with LFV and Naviair in DK/SE-FAB concerning airspace development. In this cooperation the implementation of a seamless Free Route Airspace above FL 285 across the two FABs is prioritised in the short term with planned implementation towards the end of 2015. The activity is targeted to connect Free Route Airspace in the two FABs ensuring a continuous Free Route Airspace. The activity is organised as a project called North European Free Route Airspace – NEFRA. This project is not aimed at airspace developments inside the two airspace blocks.
