Many believe that future competitiveness and sustainability are the most critical factors in developing Norwegian aviation. Operational expertise will help form a holistic picture in such analyses.

Aircraft are often based on old prototypes, where modifications and innovation are needed to keep up with the increase in traffic. Weaknesses in safety barriers are constantly being discovered where corrections are needed. Operational professionals can see an urgent need for small sensors, stable communication devices or the like. In addition, one can see enormous developments in RPAS (drones).

Developments indicate that increased employment within aviation, including specialisation, training, selection, and other Human Resource-related aspects, will be needed.
