HENT, a subsidiary of Sentia, has been awarded a contract by Avinor to construct an air traffic control centre facility at the New Bodø Airport. The contract value is MNOK 450 excluding VAT.

The agreement is a release of an option to the contract announced on 30 June 2025, when Avinor and HENT signed for the construction of the terminal building and several other operational buildings at the new airport.

The air navigation facility will be delivered as a collaborative contract. In the first phase, HENT, Avinor and partners developed a bespoke design tailored to the needs of the various user organisations. Today, HENT AS and Avinor signed the contract to commence construction.

Located within the New Bodø Airport area, the facility will include a control centre, office space and an ancillary building, with a total gross floor area of around 6,000 square metres.

– We thank Avinor for the close and constructive collaboration throughout the development phase. We are proud to contribute to securing the future of air traffic operations in Bodø and the northern regions. Together with Avinor, we look forward to delivering an innovative and socially important project, says Jan Jahren, group CEO of Sentia and HENT.

Construction is scheduled to begin in October 2025, with completion of the air navigation facility expected in summer 2028. The entire airport is due to open for operational use in 2029.
