A brief power outage at the Bodø control center in Norway led to significant disruptions in air traffic, particularly affecting flights north of Trondheim.

The outage required a system restart, causing delays and cancellations at airports including Trondheim Værnes, Tromsø, and Bodø.

Avinor, the Norwegian airport operator, reported that airspace is gradually reopening, operating at about 30% capacity.

Passengers are advised to stay updated through their airlines as further delays are expected throughout the evening.

Norwegian and SAS flights have been notably impacted, with some flights canceled or rescheduled.

Despite the challenges, flights already airborne are landing safely, and efforts are underway to restore normal operations as quickly as possible.
