Electric aviation (EA) has emerged as a promising alternative to mitigate the climate impacts of aviation. The Nordic countries aspire to lead the way in adoption of this new technology and have set ambitious targets for its implementation in the near future. However, numerous open questions and challenges must still be addressed before electric aviation can become reality. Is the political commitment in the Nordic Region sufficient to support those initiatives? Where will the necessary funding come from? Are the required technological advancements and infrastructure in place?

These are among the key issues addressed in this policy brief that takes stock of the primary obstacles to implementing electric aviation and explores actionable solutions and introduces a policy roadmap outlining the critical steps required to make electric aviation reality in the coming years.
