Location
Evenes, Norway
Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes (IATA: EVE) is a regional airport located at Evenes in Nordland county, northern Norway. It serves the twin cities of Harstad and Narvik, situated approximately 70 km and 40 km away respectively, making it one of the few Norwegian airports serving two major urban centers simultaneously.
The airport operates above the Arctic Circle and handles a mix of domestic and limited international traffic, primarily serving passengers traveling to and from the two cities it is named after. Its strategic location supports both civilian travel and military operations, as Evenes is also home to a Norwegian Air Force base.
In recent years the airport has undergone significant expansion and modernization as part of Norway's investment in northern defense infrastructure, with Evenes designated as a main base for Norwegian F-35 fighter jets. This dual civil-military role distinguishes it from most other regional Norwegian airports.
