Location

Leknes, Norway

Leknes Airport (IATA: LKN, ICAO: ENLK) is a regional airport located on the Lofoten archipelago in Nordland county, northern Norway. It serves the municipality of Vestvågøy and acts as one of two main air gateways to the Lofoten Islands, alongside Svolvær Airport. The airport is operated by Avinor, Norway's state-owned airport operator. It handles scheduled domestic services primarily connecting Lofoten to Bodø, from which passengers can connect to major Norwegian cities.

Due to its location above the Arctic Circle, the airport operates in challenging weather and light conditions year-round, including periods of polar night in winter and the midnight sun in summer.
