US Military Aircraft Not Allowed to Land in Svalbard

The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected a US application to land a military aircraft at Svalbard airport this summer. "Norwegian authorities apply a very restrictive practice to diplomatic clearance of foreign military aircraft and ships," says the ministry's spokesperson.

In July, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected an American request to land a military aircraft at Svalbard Airport in Longyearbyen. This was reported by Svalbardposten on Tuesday.

The ministry found that such a visit is incompatible with the Norwegian Svalbard policy.
