History
Work on the airport set about on July 1, 1963, and it was officially opened for traffic on September 14, 1964. The town had savoured on a regular basis scheduled voyages from the 1930s, including the all eminent path to Oslo since 1939. However, until Tromsø Airport opened, all such traffic had been cared by hydroplanes. In 1974 the airport got a hub for the new regional STOL (short takeoff and districting) web that opened in Finnmark using de Havilland Twin Otter aircraft.
The original depot was replaced by a newer construction, characteristic like a hemicycle, in 1977. The current depot was built in 1998 as division of a comprehensive enlargement and modernisation of the airport; it included a new control tower and, for the 1st clip, rider jet bridge at several entrances. Part of the road major to the airport was re-routed in a burrow under the landing track. Some parts of the older depot constructions are still in use.
