Entry Point North was founded in 2005 as a joint partnership between three Scandinavian air navigation service providers: Naviair (Denmark), LFV (Sweden) and Avinor (Norway). In January 2014, these providers were joined by the IAA in Ireland. The academy is established as a limited company with equal holding and a joint board of directors.

Entry Point North is an independent company with decades of training experience inherited from each of our owners - ANSPs. Together they employ more than 1,800 air traffic controllers. All training solutions carried out in the academy are based on a proven, modern Scandinavian training philosophy and methodology which is recognised all over the world.
