Svolvær Airport, Helle (Norwegian: Svolvær lufthavn, Helle) (IATA: SVJ, ICAO: ENSH) is a regional airport serving the communities of Svolvær in Nordland, Norway. In 2005 Svolvær Airport had 61,532 passengers. It is operated by Avinor.
[edit] Service
The airport is served by Widerøe with Dash 8 aircraft connecting the community to Bodø and other communities in Nordland. The routes are operated on public service obligation with the Norwegian Ministry of Transportation and Communication.
In 2007, a new road ("Lofast") opened which allows driving to the Evenes Airport in less than two hours. That airport has direct connections to Oslo at much lower prices than is available Svolvær-Oslo with plane change at Bodø. This will reduce the number of passengers at Svolvær.
