Bodø Airport at a Glance

Bodø Airport (Bodø lufthavn) serves the town of Bodø in Nordland county, just north of the Arctic Circle. It uses the IATA code BOO and the ICAO code ENBO, and it is run by the state airport operator Avinor. For many travellers it is the doorway to the north Norwegian coast and the islands beyond.

How Close Bodø Airport Is to the Town

Few airports sit this close to a town centre. The terminal is on the Bodø peninsula, a little over a kilometre from the centre. That is near enough to walk in around 15 minutes if you are travelling light.

The Terminal at Bodø Airport

Passengers use a single terminal with gates for both jets and smaller regional aircraft. The site is shared with a military air station. You may see air force activity from the terminal, though civil passengers use their own separate facilities.

Airlines and Routes from Bodø

Bodø is a base for Widerøe, which uses it as a transfer point for regional flights across Nordland, including short hops to Lofoten and other coastal communities. There are frequent flights to Oslo and connections to other Norwegian cities such as Trondheim and Tromsø. Some international and holiday routes run seasonally, so check the current schedule for your dates.

Getting into Bodø from the Airport

• City bus: local lines stop just outside the main entrance and reach Bodø station in about five minutes.
• Regional bus: some regional services to the Salten area call at the airport.
• Taxi: taxis wait outside the terminal for the short drive into town.
• On foot: the walk to the centre is easy on a dry day.

Things to See Around Bodø

Bodø is a good base for the Saltstraumen tidal current south-east of town, one of the natural sights of the region. The harbour also has ferries and coastal ships heading along the coast and out to the Lofoten islands. Aviation fans can visit the Norwegian Aviation Museum, which stands next to the airport.

Tips for Flying Through Bodø

Weather in northern Norway can change fast, especially in winter, so leave some slack in tight connections. If you are transferring to a small regional flight, keep an eye on baggage limits, which can be stricter on smaller aircraft.
