What is a runway closure?

A runway closure occurs when an airport temporarily shuts down a runway, often due to safety concerns or incidents, such as aircraft malfunctions or unauthorized drone activity.

A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can be remotely controlled or autonomously operated, often used for various purposes including surveillance, delivery, and recreational activities.

Avinor is a state-owned company that operates and manages airports in Norway, ensuring safe and efficient air travel across the country.
