Public concerns over the potential helicopter flyovers have managed to change the Eidfjord politicians’ minds. A Statkraft hydro-power company applied to use the Eidfjord helipad for tourism flights. The initial consensus was that the residents did not agree but the Eidfjord Municipality wanted to encourage tourism. However, they received a large opposition to the idea. Concerns were raised over the idea of traffic over the Vøringsfossen waterfall, Hardangerjøkulen glacier and Sysendammen, reports The Local.
