About Leknes Airport
Leknes Airport is a regional airport serving the town of Leknes and the wider Lofoten archipelago in Nordland county, northern Norway. Opened in 1972 and operated by Avinor, it connects Lofoten with Bodø and other communities in Nordland through Widerøe Dash 8 services.
Located about 2 km from Leknes town centre, the airport provides an important domestic gateway for residents and travellers visiting the Lofoten islands. Its single compact terminal brings check-in, security, arrivals and baggage claim together in one building, alongside a short asphalt runway suited to regional aircraft.
The airport is reached by taxi, car, local bus or on foot, with the drive to Leknes centre taking only a few minutes. From there, travellers can continue to nearby towns, fishing villages and coastal destinations across Lofoten.
Facilities are modest but practical, including car rental desks, vending machines in the arrivals hall, waiting areas and paid parking. This keeps the airport well matched to its role as a simple, efficient regional gateway to northern Norway.
