Civil Aviation Authority of Norway

Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority (Luftfartstilsynet) is the Norwegian inspectorate responsible for civil aviation in Norway. It is subordinate to the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications. Its head office is located in Bodø and it has an office in Oslo. Among its responsibilities is maintaining the Norwegian Civil Aircraft Register.

Formerly it was part of the Norwegian Civil Aviation Administration or the Civil Aviation Administration/Norway (NCAA), Luftfartsverket, but this was split into an inspectorate and an airport and air traffic management operator, Avinor.
