Situated on the Nordland Line, it serves both express trains and the Trøndelag Commuter Rail both operated by SJ Norge.

The station cost 24 million kr, and was built along the existing railway line.

Luggage trolleys are available,[5] and the airport terminal offers an array of traveler services, such as dining, paid parking, restrooms, car rental, taxis, retailing, ATMs and kiosks.

[10] The Trøndelag Commuter Rail offers hourly services in each direction: northbound to Steinkjer and southbound to Trondheim and Lerkendal.

Klæburuten operates an airport coach to and from the city center of Trondheim every ten minutes from 4 in the morning until 9 in the evening.

NOR-WAY Bussekspress and TrønderBilene operate a coach service to Steinkjer and onwards to Namsos.

[15] On 15 March 1993, NSB announced that they would start a commuter train service between Steinkjer and Melhus, south of Trondheim.

NSB stated that the concept was based on the success of the Jæren Commuter Rail and that they hoped to have a 70% increase in ridership, in part due to the opening of the airport station.

[17] Construction of the railway station started on 7 April 1994,[18] and cost 24 million kr.
