The cost for this option is USD 100 per person. Flying is dependent on sufficient number of participants, weather etc. We have the aircraft booked exclusively by CBX Norway but we have limited number of tickets available and they are offered on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.The plane was taken out of operation on in 1983 after a total flight time of 3,215 hours.
