Andøya Airport, Andenes

Andøya Airport, Andenes (IATA: ANX, ICAO: ENAN) is a regional airport located on Andøya island in the Vesterålen archipelago of northern Norway, serving the municipality of Andenes. Situated well above the Arctic Circle, it is one of the northernmost airports in Norway and provides a vital transport link for the sparsely populated region. The airport is operated by Avinor, the Norwegian state-owned company that manages most of Norway's civil airports. It handles a modest volume of passengers and relies primarily on domestic scheduled services to connect the island community with larger Norwegian cities. The airport also shares its facilities with Norwegian military operations, as Andøya has historically been an important base for maritime patrol and space-related activities. Andøya is notable for its proximity to the Andøya Space Center (now Andøya Spaceport), which conducts rocket launches and scientific research. The remote and dark Arctic skies also make the region attractive for aurora borealis tourism, contributing to seasonal passenger demand.
