English Wikipedia places the field about **2 km / 1.2 mi** northwest of Berlevåg village. Visiting address on Avinor’s contact page: **Berlevåg Airport, 9981 Berlevåg**; postal **Avinor, Berlevåg Airport, P.O. Box 150, 2061 Gardermoen**. Official English hub: avinor.no/en/airport/berlevag/. Do not confuse it with Båtsfjord (**BJF**), Mehamn (**MEH**), Vardø Svartnes (**VAW**), Vadsø (**VDS**), or Kirkenes Høybuktmoen (**KKN**). Fully civilian Avinor regional STOL field — not an active military airbase (WWII Luftwaffe construction is historical context only). - >- Operator: **Avinor**. Official passengers-2025.xlsx roll-up (column S, scheduled + non-scheduled including transfer/transit): **14,489** passengers in **2025** (**−1.7%** YoY on that column). Terminal passengers (column N): **5,071**. Scheduled arrived/departed (column C): **4,929** (**+7.7%** YoY on that column). The large gap between column S and column N matches the English Wikipedia pattern that many Finnmark coastal hoppers land and depart again without leaving the aircraft. Regional STOL programme opened **1 August 1974** (same day as four other Finnmark fields); current terminal building from **1988**; tower is **remotely controlled from Bodø** (English Wikipedia). Avinor schema.org on the hub publishes IATA **BVG** / ICAO **ENBV** (coordinates rounded on that markup; OurAirports / Wikipedia place the field about **70.8715°N, 29.0341°E**). - >- One asphalt runway **06/24**. English Wikipedia (AIP-derived) lists **880 × 30 m** (**2,890 × 98 ft**). Norwegian Wikipedia cites a physical strip about **1,040 × 30 m**. SkyVector’s current ENBV card shows **06/24** about **1,029 × 30 m / 3,376 × 98 ft** with displaced thresholds ~**161 ft / 197 ft**. OurAirports records about **1,009 × 30 m** with ~**50 m / 60 m** displacements. Treat it as a classic Avinor short-field (~**0.88–1.04 km** class) — physical vs declared lengths and displacements explain the spread. Field elevation about **13 m / 42–43 ft** MSL (OurAirports / Wikipedia / SkyVector). Exposed Barents Sea / Varanger coastal weather on a sub-kilometre strip is first-class schedule risk. Largest type commonly cited is Widerøe’s Dash 8-100 class (English Wikipedia). - >- No rail at the curb. Entur/NSR registers stop **Berlevåg lufthavn** (**NSR:StopPlace:59276**) at the airport. Avinor does **not** currently publish a live English “to and from / collectively” page for Berlevåg (404 at research time). English Wikipedia states **taxis are available** and that there is **no bus service**, with **parking for about ten cars**. Private car + taxi are the practical defaults — verify any bus claim live on Entur before you skip a taxi arrangement. - >- Security follows classic Avinor/Norwegian cabin liquids: containers in a clear resealable **≤1 L** bag (Avinor security page). Fast Track on that page is an **Oslo**-only product — do not expect OSL-style priority lanes at BVG. Free Wi‑Fi SSID **AIRPORT** (~**4 hours** after captive-portal accept, same Avinor Wi‑Fi product page as other Avinor fields). No passenger lounge is listed on Avinor’s Berlevåg shopping page. - >- Official shopping directory: Avinor’s Berlevåg Shopping and food page currently lists **no named café, kiosk, or Tax Free shop** (ItemList `numberOfItems: 0`). Treat airside retail as absent and confirm on the day. Hub airline on Avinor’s airline strip at research time is **Widerøe** only — Finnmark PSO-style coastal links (English Wikipedia describes Dash 8-100 services to other Finnmark communities; confirm the live board). Published terminal hours (contact page): weekdays **07:20–23:00**; Saturday **07:20–14:00**; Sunday **11:50–14:30**. Parking is **free** on site (own risk); **OnePark** runs the product (customer service 24/7 on **64 81 19 80**). Avinor’s parking page notes car hire via the local **Statoil** station (branding may read Circle K on the ground — arrange before you fly). Widerøe Ground Handling is the published fixed-wing handler (**+47 95 81 64 55**). bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Match Sunday’s short window — Barents weather still owns the clock detail: >- BVG is a one-terminal short-field airport, so walking times inside are short. The schedule risks are (1) Sunday’s short published window only (**11:50–14:30**), (2) Saturday closing at **14:00**, (3) long weekday published hours (**07:20–23:00**) that still collapse when coastal METAR goes wrong, and (4) Barents Sea / Varanger Peninsula weather on an asphalt STOL runway charted as **06/24** in the ~**0.88–1.04 km** class. Overnight stays inside are not part of the published operating pattern — match arrivals to contact-page hours. summary: >- Tiny terminal; Sunday only 11:50–14:30, Saturday closes 14:00, and Arctic coastal STOL weather on ~0.9–1.0 km 06/24 are the real planning constraints. category: timing - label: Terminal title: One compact Berlevåg passenger building — no second terminal myth detail: >- Check-in, security, and the departure hold sit in a single Avinor passenger terminal at **Berlevåg Airport, 9981 Berlevåg**, about **2 km** northwest of the village (English Wikipedia). There is no multi-pier campus and no airside train. Norwegian Wikipedia describes a passenger area of about **110 m²** with capacity around **70 passengers/hour**; the apron parks about two Dash 8-sized aircraft. Re-check screens when wind, low cloud, or sea spray slows the short runway. Air traffic services are remote-towered from Bodø. summary: >- Single passenger terminal; no named airside shop on the current Avinor directory; walking distances are short. category: terminal - label: Food title: No named Avinor shop — eat in Berlevåg village or on the aircraft detail: >- Official Avinor Shopping and food directory for Berlevåg is empty of named outlets on the research day — no Narvesen, Point, Tax Free, or café title is published (ItemList `numberOfItems: 0`). Assume you may find nothing open after security and eat in Berlevåg village or accept airline catering. Confirm on the day rather than trusting third-party “airport restaurant” blogs. summary: >- Avinor’s shopping page lists no café or kiosk; treat F&B as unreliable and plan village or onboard meals. category: food - label: Status title: No lounge — taxi/car first; free parking on the Avinor/OnePark product detail: >- There is no Priority Pass / LoungeKey / walk-up passenger lounge on current Avinor Berlevåg shopping pages. Avinor has no live English collectively page for BVG at research time; English Wikipedia’s practical note is taxi available, no bus, and about ten free parking spaces. Entur stop **Berlevåg lufthavn** (**NSR:StopPlace:59276**) exists — verify live before you skip a taxi plan. Parking on the Avinor parking page is **free**; OnePark customer service is **64 81 19 80**. There is no rail link. summary: >- Zero lounges; free OnePark parking; taxi/private car are the practical published ground defaults — no rail and no documented airport bus. category: status lounges: [] waterOptions: - kind: free name: Empty-bottle refill after security zone: airside summary: >- Avinor security practice allows empty bottles through screening; refill with potable Norwegian tap water from airside washroom taps once past security.
