STOLports in Norway

The network was officially opened 30 June 1968 by minister of transport Håkon Kyllingmark together with mayors, county governors and representatives of the airlines.

[2] The ministry of transport with Håkon Kyllingmark from the Conservative Party was a promoter for the work of developing new airports, especially in the northernmost counties of Norway.

On 20 October 2020, Avinor opened a remote control tower situated in Bodø as a cost effective solution intended for STOLports in Norway with little traffic.

For this reason there are plans to extend runways to 1,199 m (3,934 ft)[5] or in some cases to build new airports, and to close some combined with road improvements.

[citation needed] In the national plan for transportation 2022–2033 is however only Mo i Rana selected for a major project, a new airport.
