Bardufoss: the small airport of inland Troms
Bardufoss Airport (IATA BDU, ICAO ENDU) lies in the Målselv valley in Troms county, in the far north of Norway, about 70 kilometers south of Tromsø and an hour from the island of Senja. It is first and foremost a military airfield, the oldest in Norway still in use and the home of the air force's helicopter wing, with a civilian terminal on the side that serves the garrison towns of the valley and a growing number of visitors to Senja and the Lyngen Alps. The live radar on this page shows the military helicopters and transports as well as the airliners; the arrivals and departures pages are linked above it.
Airlines and destinations
Norwegian and SAS fly directly to Oslo, the only scheduled destination, with one or two flights a day that connect at Gardermoen to the rest of Norway and Europe; in winter, charter flights bring northern-lights tourists from Britain and the continent, and the air force provides the rest of the traffic. Our route data holds no scheduled connections for Bardufoss, so the arrivals and departures boards are the better guide to the day's flights.
Getting to Senja, Tromsø and the valley
Rental cars from the desks in the terminal are the way to travel here; the E6 passes a few minutes from the airport, Finnsnes and the bridge to Senja are an hour away, Tromsø an hour and a half, and Narvik two hours. Taxis serve the towns of the valley, Bardufoss, Andselv and Setermoen, and should be booked ahead for late arrivals. Buses run along the E6 between Narvik and Tromsø with a stop near the airport, but with few departures.
Good to know
The civilian terminal is small, with one check-in desk, one security lane and one gate, so forty-five minutes before departure is enough; as a military airfield, photography on the apron is restricted. Winter brings snow and darkness but the airport rarely closes; summer brings the midnight sun. For more flights and the direct European services, Tromsø is the regional hub an hour and a half away, and Evenes at Harstad/Narvik serves Lofoten and Vesterålen.
