Pilot Flight Academy Linked to Espen Høiby Faces Imminent Insolvency Decision

Mounting debts have pushed the board toward a decision on opening proceedings early next week.

Overview

  • Norwegian outlet VG reports 31 registered payment arrears totaling 3,975,394 kroner (about €367,600) at the flight school tied to Crown Princess Mette-Marit's brother.
  • CEO Møller Nielsen said the situation remains unresolved and that the board will decide shortly, after efforts to secure new investors fell through, according to Sandefjord Blad.
  • Initial reports from Se og Hør, echoed by national media, cite active collection cases and a liquidity shortfall as key drivers of the crisis.
  • The academy continues to advertise 2026 course intakes and VG says January places are fully booked, leaving the near-term operating status uncertain.
  • The developments arrive as the palace confirms the crown princess needs a lung transplant and as her son, Marius Borg Høiby, faces a February trial on 32 charges.
