    Stokmarknes Airport (Norwegian: Stokmarknes lufthavn; IATA: SKN, ICAO: ENSK) is an airportinHadsel MunicipalityinNordland county, Norway. It is located on the island of Langøya, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northeast of the town of Stokmarknes and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southwest of the town of Sortland. Widerøe is the only approved scheduled air carrier to operate from the airport, using Canadian-built De Havilland Canada Dash 8 STOL (short take-off and landing) aircraft. Other frequent traffic includes ambulance flights (MEDEVAC) using Beechcraft Super King Airs operated by Babcock Scandinavian Air Ambulance.

    History

    [edit]

    The airport opened 1 July 1972 as part of a government program of building a series of small airports along the coast. This was a major success and an important step for the population in the area (Vesterålen archipelago), who now could travel to the bigger cities of Norway and the rest of the world in one day, not weeks. Currently owned and operated by Avinor, the airport was managed by the Hadsel municipality for the first 20 years.[3]

    Extension

    [edit]
