Ålesund Airport, Vigra airport codes|AES|ENAL ( _no. Ålesund lufthavn, Vigra) is an airport which serves the Norwegian city of Ålesund. The airport is located on the island of Vigra in the Giske municipality, northeast of the city centre. The airport served 732,616 passengers in 2006 (ranked eight in Norway).

Scheduled services are offered by Scandinavian Airlines to Copenhagen, Bergen, Oslo and Trondheim and airBaltic to Riga. In addition there are regular charter flights.

History

The airport was opened in 1958, as the first in Møre og Romsdal. Scheduled flights were offered by Braathens S.A.F.E using de Havilland Heron aircraft, later replaced with Fokker F-27, Fokker F-28 and Boeing 737 aircraft.

In 1986 the present terminal was opened along with an extended runway, and the next year a new complex of bridges and underwater road tunnels connected the airport to Ålesund, without the need for ferries.

In 1998 the new low-cost carrier Color Air started services to the new Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. This resulted in a price war in addition to Scandinavian Airlines also starting services to the city. Today the only airline left is Scandinavian Airlines and its subsidiary airBaltic.
