Tromsø Airport (TOS), at Langnes on the western shore of the island of Tromsøya, is located about 5 km from Tromsø city centre, around ten minutes by car. It has one asphalt runway, 18/36, measuring 2,447 metres (8,028 feet), and sits at an elevation of 32 feet (10 metres) at coordinates 69.6814° N, 18.9178° E.
Owned and operated by the state-owned company Avinor, Tromsø is the main airport of northern Norway, linking the region’s towns with Oslo and with international routes. For private aviation, it is the natural arrival point for northern lights trips from late September to March, whale watching in the fjords in early winter, and ski touring and heli-skiing in the Lyngen Alps in spring. In summer, the midnight sun allows flights and excursions at any hour. The runway accepts light, midsize and large business jets. Arctic conditions, including snow, crosswinds and the polar night, require crews and aircraft prepared for winter operations. The city centre, the Arctic Cathedral and the harbour are minutes away, and fjord lodges are reached by car or boat. The Jet Collection arranges flights into Tromsø with handling and transfers to the city or your lodge.
