Røst Airport (RET/ENRS) is a small regional STOL airport on the island of Røstlandet in Norway's Lofoten archipelago. Opened in 1986 and operated by Avinor, it connects the remote fishing community of Røst with Bodø and other Lofoten destinations via Widerøe. Its short runway and exposed coastal location make it weather-sensitive, but it provides vital year-round access to one of Norway's most important seabird areas.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors build in buffer time: Røst's coastal weather can cancel or delay flights at short notice, and the alternative ferry takes hours. Bring binoculars—Røst is one of Europe's largest seabird colonies, and the puffin cliffs are best in summer, but keep a respectful distance and follow local guidance.
🚖 Getting There
Røst Airport is on Røstlandet, about 2 km from the village, so most travelers take a pre-booked taxi or arrange a ride with their accommodation. There is no regular airport bus, though some local buses may coincide with flights. Ferries connect Røst to Bodø and other Lofoten islands, but they depart from a different pier, so check connections carefully.
