By Dominic Chopping

STOCKHOLM--A group of companies that includes aircraft maker Airbus and airline SAS have agreed to work together and investigate the feasibility of infrastructure for hydrogen-fueled aircraft at airports in Norway and Sweden.

Swedish airport operator Swedavia and Norwegian peer Avinor as well as Swedish energy group Vattenfall are also part of the study that aims to gain a better understanding of hydrogen aircraft concepts and operations, supply, infrastructure as well as regulatory and refueling needs.

"The goal of this collaboration is to develop a framework for the rollout of hydrogen-powered flights in both countries," the companies said in a joint statement.

The feasibility study will cover over 50 airports in the two countries.
