Location

Ørland, Norway

Ørland Airport (IATA: OLA, ICAO: ENOL) is a combined military and civilian airport located in Ørland municipality on the Fosen Peninsula in Trøndelag county, Norway. It serves both the Royal Norwegian Air Force and limited commercial passenger traffic connecting the region to larger Norwegian hubs. The airport is home to Ørland Main Air Station, which is the main base for the Norwegian Air Force's F-35A Lightning II fighter jets, making it one of the most strategically significant military installations in Norway. Commercial services have historically been operated by regional carriers, providing connections primarily to Oslo and Trondheim. Due to its dual military and civilian role, the airport operates under certain access restrictions typical of active air force bases. Passenger volumes are modest, reflecting the relatively small population of the surrounding Ørland municipality.
