Gateway to Helgeland's coast and islands in northern Norway.

Opened

Location
Alstahaug, Norway
Sandnessjøen Airport, Stokka (IATA: SSJ) is a regional airport serving the Alstahaug municipality and the broader Helgeland coastal region of Nordland county in northern Norway. It sits on the Stokka peninsula near the town of Sandnessjøen and provides essential air links for communities that are otherwise difficult to reach by land. The airport is part of Norway's system of short-takeoff regional airfields operated under public service obligation (PSO) agreements, ensuring air connectivity to sparsely populated areas. Widerøe is the primary carrier operating scheduled services from the airport, typically connecting the region to larger Norwegian hubs such as Bodø and Trondheim. Given its location along the rugged Norwegian coast, the airport plays a vital role in both passenger travel and the regional oil and gas sector that operates in the Norwegian Sea. Its short runway is characteristic of the smaller regional airports in the Widerøe network.

The airport has a single small terminal building suited to regional traffic volumes.
