Andøya Airport, Andenes (IATA: ANX, ICAO: ENAN) is a regional airport located on Andøya island in the Vesterålen archipelago of northern Norway, situated well above the Arctic Circle. It serves the municipality of Andenes and the surrounding communities, providing vital air connectivity to an otherwise remote coastal region.

Regular scheduled services connect Andenes primarily to Bodø and other regional Norwegian destinations, making the airport an important lifeline for residents who would otherwise face lengthy overland and sea journeys.
