Location
Sandane, Norway
Sandane Airport, Anda (IATA: SDN, ICAO: ENSD) is a regional airport located at Anda, near the town of Sandane in Gloppen municipality, Vestland county, Norway. It sits along the Gloppenfjord and serves the surrounding rural and fjord communities of the region. The airport operates with a short runway suitable only for smaller turboprop aircraft, reflecting its role as a local feeder airport connecting the region to larger Norwegian hubs.

Traveller Tips
  • Arrive early as the terminal is small and staffed with limited hours aligned to flight schedules.
  • Pre-book a taxi or rental car, as on-demand transport options are very limited in this rural area.
  • Check flight schedules in advance as services are limited and often operated by small regional carriers such as Widerøe.
  • Dress for variable weather year-round; the Nordfjord region experiences frequent rain and wind.
