No news yet on the non-NATO countries Finland and Sweden’s take on the operational side of things:

[…] The Ministers note that Denmark and Norway have already provided operational assistance to Iceland and participated in air surveillance. The Ministers agree to look further into the feasibility of the proposal on surveillance of Icelandic airspace, under Icelandic authority, with regard to phase one and two of the proposal.

  1. Denmark (global 2nd place) + Norway (global 2nd place)
  2. Iceland (global 4th place – from 1st last year)
  3. Sweden (global 6th place)
  4. Finland (global 9th place)

All in all as could be expected, even if Iceland was a bit of a surprise. Please see this for a complete listing.
