 It was operated by the state-owned Avinor and consisted of a runway aligned 01–19 (roughly north–south).The airport closed on 1 April 2017, due to the construction of the new Hålogaland bridge (opened December 2018) which shortened the journey to the larger Harstad-Narvik Airport, Evenes, making that the primary airport for Narvik.Until its closure, the airport was served by Widerøe, who operate a public service obligation route to Bodø.
