About Røst Airport
Røst Airport is a small regional airport serving the island municipality of Røst, located at the far southwestern edge of Norway's Lofoten archipelago in Nordland county. Opened in 1986, it provides an essential air link for the island community, with regular flights to and from Bodø and Leknes.
Situated about two kilometres from Røst village on Røstlandet, the airport is a short drive from local accommodation, the harbour and the island's small centre. Its single compact terminal handles check-in, security, arrivals and baggage in one building, keeping the passenger journey straightforward.
Because Røst is a remote island with limited road and ferry options, the airport plays an important role in daily travel for residents, business visitors and tourists arriving to explore the Røst landscape and nearby seabird colonies. The main onward connections are by taxi or rental car, with the village only minutes away.
Despite its small scale, the airport gives travellers reliable access to one of Norway's most distinctive island communities. Its simple layout, short distances and quiet operating environment make it a practical starting point for visits to Røst and the outer Lofoten area.
