The World : Norway Restricts Flights
- Share via
The Norwegian government has banned or restricted Soviet Bloc commercial and charter planes at eight airports, charging that they were engaged in electronic espionage. Officials said there was proof that East European airliners have carried out such espionage while flying over Norway and also while on the ground at Norwegian airfields. Armed forces chief Gen. Fredrik Bull-Hansen identified only one East Bloc country--Bulgaria-- as engaging in electronic espionage. The restrictions do not affect Oslo’s Fornebu airport.
