Location
Stokmarknes, Norway
Stokmarknes Airport, Skagen (IATA: SKN, ICAO: ENSK) is a regional airport serving the town of Stokmarknes on Hadseløya island in the Vesterålen archipelago of northern Norway. It operates as part of Norway's extensive network of short-takeoff-and-landing regional airports, providing vital transport links to communities in this remote Arctic region. The airport is served primarily by Widerøe, which operates turboprop aircraft suited to the short runway. It connects Stokmarknes to larger Norwegian hubs such as Bodø and Tromsø, supporting both local residents and visitors to the Vesterålen islands. Stokmarknes is also historically significant as the home of the Hurtigruten Museum, celebrating the famous coastal ferry service that has long connected Norwegian coastal communities. The airport thus serves both a practical transport role and acts as an entry point for cultural and nature tourism in the region.
