'''Stokmarknes Airport''' ({{langx|no|Stokmarknes lufthavn}}; {{Airport codes|SKN|ENSK|p=n}}) is an [[airport]] in [[Hadsel Municipality]] in [[Nordland]] county, [[Norway]].  It is located on the island of [[Langøya]], about {{convert|5|km}} northeast of the town of [[Stokmarknes]] and about {{convert|20|km}} southwest of the [[Sortland (town)|town of Sortland]]. [[Widerøe]] is the only approved scheduled air carrier to operate from the airport, using [[Canada|Canadian]]-built [[De Havilland Canada Dash 8]] [[STOL]] (short take-off and landing) aircraft. Other frequent traffic includes ambulance flights ([[MEDEVAC]]) using [[Beechcraft Super King Air]]s operated by Babcock Scandinavian Air Ambulance. 

== History ==
The airport opened 1 July 1972 as part of a government program of building a series of small airports along the coast. This was a major success and an important step for the population in the area ([[Vesterålen]] [[archipelago]]), who now could travel to the bigger cities of Norway and the rest of the world in one day, not weeks. Currently owned and operated by [[Avinor]], the airport was managed by the Hadsel municipality for the first 20 years.<ref name="AV">{{cite web|url=http://www.avinor.no/lufthavn/stokmarknes/omoss/75_Lufthavnens+historie|title=Lufthavnens historie|publisher=Avinor.no|language=Norwegian|accessdate=2012-07-22}}</ref>
