Namsos Airport (ENNM) is a small regional airfield at Høknesøra, on the banks of the Namsen river just outside the town of Namsos in Trøndelag, Norway. Operated by Avinor and served by Widerøe's Dash 8 services under public service obligation contracts, it offers straightforward VFR access to central Norway's fjord country.
Namsos Airport is a small regional aerodrome owned and operated by Avinor, situated at Høknesøra beside the Namsen river on the edge of the town of Namsos in Trøndelag county. It exists primarily to keep Namsos connected to the wider Norwegian air network, with scheduled Widerøe services operating under public service obligation contracts, but its modest scale, single hard runway and riverside setting make it a manageable and scenic destination for the visiting VFR pilot.
The airfield lies at Høknesøra, close to the town of Namsos, on the Namsen river in Trøndelag county, Norway, at coordinates 64.4722N, 11.5786E and an elevation of 7 feet. No specific detail on the surrounding airspace classification is available from the sources consulted.
Namsos has a single physical runway, 07/25, of 2,905 feet on a hard surface, and it is lit for night operations. There is no ILS approach available at the field.
No published radio communications frequencies for Namsos Airport are recorded in the aeronautical data consulted, and there is no instrument landing system serving the field. Pilots planning a visit should check current official Norwegian aeronautical publications for radio and approach information before flight.
The airfield sits at Høknesøra on the Namsen river immediately outside the town of Namsos, and the river itself, together with the built-up area of the town, provides a clear visual lead-in for pilots approaching from the surrounding fjord and mountain terrain of Trøndelag.
Namsos Airport was established in 1968 and has since been owned and operated by Avinor. It has long been served by Widerøe, historically operating de Havilland Canada Twin Otter aircraft and today flying Dash 8 equipment under public service obligation contracts with Norway's Ministry of Transport and Communications. The airport's history includes one serious accident: in 1993, Widerøe Flight 744, a Twin Otter, struck the ground in darkness during approach, resulting in six deaths among the nineteen people on board.
Namsos Airport continues to operate as a regional airport under Avinor, with Widerøe providing scheduled services connecting Namsos to destinations including Mo i Rana, Rørvik, Sandnessjøen and Trondheim. Passenger numbers have fluctuated in recent years, with the airport recording tens of thousands of passengers annually in the years before and after 2020.
