Leknes Airport (LKN), serving the town of Leknes on Vestvågøy in Norway’s Lofoten archipelago, opened in 1972 and operates from a single small terminal as an important regional gateway. The compact airport links the islands to Bodø, Tromsø and other northern destinations and is a vital entry point for Lofoten tourism and local travel. It sits just a short drive from Leknes town center and is accessible by local bus, taxi or rental car, with road and ferry connections to nearby islands. Primarily served by regional carrier Widerøe (with occasional seasonal services from other airlines), Leknes tends to be pricier than mainland airports due to limited competition, though early-booking and off-season deals are common.

Go mostly cashless at tiny Leknes: there’s no currency exchange or ATM in the terminal, and cards are widely accepted. For NOK, use a 24/7 bank ATM in Leknes town or withdraw at a bigger hub like Bodø or Oslo to get better rates and avoid queues.
No duty‑free at Leknes, but if you’re connecting to an international flight you can shop at Duty Free Norway in bigger hubs like Oslo—right by the international gates with savings on perfume, chocolate, and Nordic spirits versus city prices. Hours at those shops usually mirror flight schedules, and many major airports also offer arrivals duty‑free before customs.
Swing by the small café in the compact terminal for coffee, pastries, and ready‑made sandwiches, with vending machines as a backup between flights. Prices run a bit higher than in Leknes town, so it’s ideal for a quick bite while proper meals are best sorted before you arrive.
Help is close by: staff in the compact terminal can provide basic first aid and summon emergency services, while full-service pharmacies in Leknes town (about 5 minutes away) handle prescriptions, travel kits, and COVID self-tests during regular shop hours. On‑site assistance is free; medications and external medical care are paid.
Compact and no‑fuss, Leknes Airport doesn’t offer left‑luggage lockers. For storage, look to town options—hotels, car‑rental desks, or seasonal tourist info points—where small bags usually run about 60–150 NOK per day, with hours tied to each venue.
Two simple waiting areas—one before security and a cozy departures lounge—offer free Wi‑Fi, mountain views, and enough outlets to keep you charged. There’s no business lounge or 24‑hour opening, but quiet corners, a small café, and clean facilities make short waits easy.
