Svolvær, Norway
Svolvær Airport, Helle (IATA: SVJ) is a small regional airport serving Svolvær, the main town of the Lofoten archipelago in Nordland county, Norway. Situated on the island of Austvågøya, it provides a vital air link for residents and tourists visiting one of Norway's most scenic destinations.
