Heli­c­op­ter traf­fic in Spits­ber­gen

Posted on 3. March 2012 by Rolf Stange

Heli­c­op­ter landings out­side the offi­ci­al air­fields are prin­ci­pal­ly not allo­wed and can only be car­ri­ed out with spe­cial per­mis­si­on from the Sys­sel­man­nen. Now figu­res have been published to illus­tra­te heli­c­op­ter landings in the field in 2011: the total num­ber was no less than 2403. Out of the­se, 1729 were con­nec­ted to mining and mine­ral explo­ra­ti­on, 335 were in the con­text of sci­ence. Admi­nis­tra­ti­ve heli­c­op­ter use, which can safe­ly be assu­med to be sub­stan­ti­al, is not included.

Per­mis­si­ons for tou­ristic heli­c­op­ter use are prin­ci­pal­ly not given.

Traf­fic hot spots were, as could be expec­ted, the poten­ti­al gold field in St. Jons­fjord and the new coal mine at Lun­ckef­jel­let. But a lar­ge num­ber of landings has also taken place any­whe­re, inclu­ding the remo­test, other­wi­se strict­ly pro­tec­ted are­as. (Map © Sys­sel­man­nen på Sval­bard)
