Mo i Rana Airport, Røssvoll is a small Avinor-operated regional airport serving the town of Mo i Rana in Nordland county, Norway, situated in the village of Røssvoll about ten kilometres from the town centre. It has a single short asphalt runway and is used mainly by Widerøe's Dash 8 services on public-service-obligation routes within Nordland and Trøndelag, making it a useful VFR reference point for pilots operating in this part of northern Norway.
Mo i Rana Airport, Røssvoll is a regional airport operated by Avinor, serving the town of Mo i Rana in Rana municipality, Nordland county, Norway. It opened in 1968 and today handles scheduled turboprop services on public-service-obligation routes, making it a modest but active field of interest to sim pilots exploring northern Norway's regional network.
The airport lies in the village of Røssvoll, around ten kilometres north-east of the town of Mo i Rana, close to the E6 highway. It sits within Nordland county in northern Norway.
The airport has a single physical runway, 13/31, of 2,740 feet with a hard (asphalt) surface. Both directions are lit, but there is no instrument landing system.

Mo i Rana Airport, Røssvoll opened in 1968 and has since been operated by Avinor. Its runway is too short to allow aircraft to carry enough fuel for a direct flight to Oslo; a fuel-stop service was introduced in 2017 but was later cancelled. Because the existing runway at Røssvoll cannot be extended, plans developed from at least 2002 onward for a new airport nearer Mo i Rana capable of handling mid-size jets on direct Oslo routes. These plans were approved in March 2021, and construction of the replacement airport, Mo i Rana Airport, Fagerlia, began with a ceremony on 26 September 2022.
The airport is served by Widerøe operating Dash 8-100 and Dash 8-200 aircraft on public-service-obligation routes connecting Mo i Rana with Bodø, Mosjøen, Namsos and Trondheim. There are no bus services to the airport, though taxis are available, and rental cars can be arranged in the town of Mo i Rana.
