The airport is served by Widerøe with Dash 8 aircraft connecting the community to the nearby towns of Bodø and Trondheim.

The routes are operated on public service obligation with the Ministry of Transport and Communications.

The Korgfjell Tunnel opened in 2005 created a reliable and fast road between Mosjøen and Mo i Rana.

Meteorological tests performed by Avinor showed however that the area had too much fog to serve as an airport.

As of 2007, the idea of a new airport at this location is abandoned by both Avinor and the Ministry of Transport.
