Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik lies close to the southern Norwegian coast near Kristiansand, serving as the main gateway to the Agder region. It offers a single long, hard-surfaced runway equipped with ILS, making it a straightforward and well-equipped destination for both airline traffic and visiting general aviation pilots.
Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik is the principal airport for the city of Kristiansand and the wider Agder region of southern Norway. Operated by Avinor, it handles scheduled airline services as well as general aviation movements, and its single long instrument runway makes it an accessible and well-served field for a simulator pilot flying into the south of Norway.
The airport sits in the district of Tveit, within the Oddernes borough, roughly 16 kilometres by road and about 8 kilometres by air northeast of Kristiansand city centre (https://maps.apple.com/place?place-id=IF6AC0B52D2D61BE0, https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Kristiansand_Airport,_Kjevik). It lies close to the coast in southern Norway and functions as a controlled aerodrome within its surrounding airspace, with tower services provided on site.
Kjevik has a single physical runway, 03/21, oriented northeast-southwest. It is a hard-surfaced, lit runway equipped with ILS on both directions, with a landing distance of 6,444 ft available on runway 03 and 6,330 ft on runway 21. Field elevation is 46 ft.
The airport publishes an ATIS on 124.475 MHz and an additional information frequency on 135.075 MHz. Tower services are available on 118.1 MHz and 118.3 MHz. The runway is equipped with ILS for instrument approaches.
The city of Kristiansand initially planned an airport at Kongsgård in 1936 before changing the site to Kjevik. Construction began in 1938 and the airport opened officially on 1 June 1939 with a 1,000-metre concrete runway and facilities for landing seaplanes. In 1945 the Air Force moved its technical school to Kjevik, and in the same year the municipality transferred the airport to the state, since which it has been operated by Avinor. After the Second World War, Det Norske Luftfartsselskap began flying to Kristiansand using Junkers 52 seaplanes. Between 1963 and 1981 Dan-Air of London operated a route between Newcastle and Kjevik. In 2012 a new carrier, FlyNonstop, announced international services from Kristiansand to several European cities, intended to serve southern Norway without the need to drive to Sandefjord Torp or Stavanger Sola, but the airline ceased operations in October 2013 (https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Kristiansand_Airport,_Kjevik).
Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik continues to operate as an active airline and general aviation airport under Avinor, with a long ILS-equipped runway supporting both scheduled and visiting traffic.
