Brønnøysund Airport, Brønnøy is a regional airport at the town of Brønnøysund, in Brønnøy municipality, Nordland county, Norway. It is owned and operated by the state-owned Avinor and serves the southern part of the Helgeland region, combining scheduled airline traffic with offshore helicopter operations. For a visiting simulator pilot it offers a compact coastal Norwegian field with a single runway and AFIS service, typical of the STOL-era airports built along this stretch of coast.
The airport lies at Brønnøysund, in Brønnøy municipality, Nordland county, Norway, at coordinates 65.4611N 12.2175E and an elevation of 16 feet. It sits within the southern Helgeland coastal area and is one of a group of short take-off and landing airports opened together in this part of Northern Norway.
The airport has a single physical runway, 03/21, surfaced in hard material (asphalt) and lit, with a length of approximately 4320 feet on the 03 threshold and 4313 feet on the 21 threshold. There is no ILS installed.
Air traffic services are provided by AFIS on a frequency of 119.6 MHz.
Plans for a network of short take-off and landing airports in Northern Norway were launched in 1965, with planning for Brønnøysund starting in 1966 and construction beginning in 1967. Brønnøysund Airport opened on 1 June 1968 together with three other nearby airports built under the same programme, at a cost of NOK 2.7 million plus expropriation and navigational aid costs, of which NOK 1.9 million was covered by the state and the remainder by Brønnøy Municipality. The site had earlier been used for seaplane services from 1935, first by Norwegian Air Lines and later by Widerøe. Scheduled services began with Twin Otter aircraft, which Widerøe replaced with Dash 7 aircraft in 1982 and with Dash 8 aircraft in 1992.
The airport is owned and operated by Avinor and serves the southern Helgeland region with scheduled Widerøe flights using Dash 8 aircraft. It also supports offshore helicopter operations, with CHC Helikopter Service operating flights to the Norne field and to temporary oil rigs in the Norwegian Sea.
