Norwegian aviation authorities on Thursday warned that Santa Claus flights could cause delays for airline passengers in December. It's not St. Nick or his flying reindeer sleigh that cause the problem each year, but thousands of tourists flying through Norwegian airspace each year to reach Santa's village on the Arctic Circle in Finland. About 600,000 people a year visit the Finnish tourist attraction near Rovaniemi, with about 250 charter flights in December alone. Most come from Britain with a peak of more than 30 extra planes an hour taking the shortest route to the Finnish Arctic, which is over southern Norway. Officials said that can overload air traffic control capacity and delay some Norwegian flights. xponent HO HO HO Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
