Remote Arctic gateway serving Norway's far northern coast.

Opened
1974
Location
Mehamn, Norway
Mehamn Airport is a small regional airport located near the village of Mehamn in Finnmark county, Norway. Situated well above the Arctic Circle, it serves one of the northernmost communities in Europe and provides vital air connectivity to an otherwise isolated coastal settlement. 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, primarily local residents and those with business or official purposes in the region. Due to its remote location and challenging Arctic weather conditions, the airport plays an essential role in maintaining year-round access to Mehamn, supplementing the coastal ferry services that also connect the community.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of a remote Arctic community.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are limited, with local taxi services being the primary means of reaching the village from the airport.
