Two weeks before operations were to start the Civil Aviation Authority of Norway stated that DAT did not meet the safety requirements, resulting in Widerøe instead being awarded the contract.
To uger før, at flyvningerne skulle starte, sagde Luftfartstilsynet, at DAT ikke opfyldte kravene til sikkerhed, hvilket resulterede i, at Widerøe i stedet blev tildelt kontrakten.
