Alta Airport - Alta lufthavn
(Click on the photo to enlarge) |
Alta Airport ((IATA: ALF, ICAO: ENAT),
Norwegian: Alta lufthavn) is the airport of Alta, Norway. It is located
1 NM (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) east or about 6 km (3.7 mi) northeast of the town
center of Alta, near the community Elvebakken on the southern shore of
the Altafjord.
The airport served 416,272 passengers in 2006, an increase from 351,537
in 2005—making it the most heavily trafficked airport in Finnmark.
The airport has a single paved 2,088 m (6,850 ft) runway. Ground transport
is handled by bus and taxi. The government-owned Avinor is responsible
for operations. The airport works as a semi-hub for operations in the
SAS Group with many connections to regional airports in Finnmark as well
as jet operations to Oslo.
There are plans for construction of a new airport terminal. In the current
layout the planes park too close to the runway according to the newer
safety regulations. The current authorization expired in 2008.

History
The airport was opened 3 May 1963, at the same time as Banak Airport
in Lakselv and Høybuktmoen Airport in Kirkenes. For many years
the only airline to serve Alta was Scandinavian Airlines, which operated
routes to Tromsø and Oslo. Originally the airplanes serving Alta
were Convair CV-440 Metropolitan propeller planes, while Douglas DC-9
jet aircraft were introduced in 1969, and McDonnell Douglas MD-80 aircraft
in 1986.
When the new regional STOL routes in Finnmark were opened in 1974, Alta
was serviced by Widerøe's Twin Otter aircraft. In 1990, Scandinavian
changed their operation procedures in Finnmark, making Alta a hub with
flights from other towns into Alta and flights to Oslo by jet aircraft.
The spike routes were operated with 50 seat Fokker 50 aircraft by SAS
Commuter.
In 2002, after Scandinavian acquired Braathens, Braathens took over Scandinavian's
routes. The two airlines were merged in 2005. In 2003, Widerøe
took over SAS Commuter's routes from Alta. Norwegian Air Shuttle operates
low-cost flights to its hub at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen.
