Background & Purpose

Regional aviation and environmental issues require long-term international cooperation and planning within Scandinavia.

Proposals & Debate

The government proposed extending the Scandinavian aviation cooperation framework. Meanwhile, opposition members submitted around sixty individual proposals concerning regional airports, emergency preparedness airports, aviation climate impact, and electric aircraft.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament approved the government's proposal to extend the cooperation until 2040 and rejected all the opposing proposals, pointing to ongoing work.
