Visiting address **Mo i Rana Airport, Røssvoll, 8615 Skonseng**; postal **Avinor, Mo i Rana Airport, Røssvoll, P.O. Box 150, 2061 Gardermoen**. Official English hub: avinor.no/en/airport/mo-i-rana/. Do not confuse it with Mosjøen Kjærstad (**MJF**), Sandnessjøen Stokka (**SSJ**), Brønnøysund Brønnøy (**BNN**), or Bodø (**BOO**). Avinor is building a replacement at **Fagerlia** (planned official opening **30 September 2027**); until that cutover, scheduled passengers still use **Røssvoll**. - >- Operator: **Avinor**. Official passengers-2025.xlsx (scheduled + non-scheduled roll-up, column S): **112,417** passengers in **2025** (**+19.8%** vs **93,876** in **2024**, matching Avinor’s series mirrored on Wikipedia’s traffic table). Terminal passengers (column N): **110,020**. Fully civilian Avinor regional STOL field — not a closed military airbase. Opened **1968** with the Helgeland short-field programme (Norwegian Wikipedia dates the opening **1 July 1968**). - >- One asphalt runway historically published as **14/32**, about **871 × 30 m** (English Wikipedia AIP-derived; elevation about **229 ft / 70 m** MSL). Some current chart databases list the same strip as **13/31** with ~**840–870 m** class figures after magnetic-variation renumbering (OurAirports / SkyVector) — same pavement, not a second runway. This is a true short field: the strip is too short for practical nonstop jet service to Oslo with useful fuel reserves (English Wikipedia service note). - >- No rail at the curb. Avinor’s live MQN menu does **not** publish a dedicated to-and-from page (404 on the usual English slug; Norwegian “til-og-fra” content is already branded toward the future Fagerlia site). Entur registers stop **Mo i Rana lufthavn** (**NSR:StopPlace:59254**) with quays, but a bus-mode departure query at research time returned **no upcoming bus trips** — treat **taxi** (~**15–20 minutes** into Mo i Rana on English Wikipedia’s driving note) or a rental car as the reliable default and only trust a bus if Entur shows one for your exact flight bank. Historical “Flybussen” branding exists in older local photos; do not assume it still meets every arrival. - >- 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 MQN. 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 Mo i Rana shopping page. - >- Official shopping directory: Avinor’s Mo i Rana Shopping and food page currently lists **no named café, kiosk, or Tax Free shop**. Treat airside retail as programme-linked or absent and confirm on the day. Hub airline at research time on Avinor’s airline strip is **Widerøe** only (Dash 8) — typically Bodø / Trondheim and other Helgeland links on PSO-style patterns; confirm live. Avinor’s contact page at research time only published stale Easter-holiday hour windows rather than a standing weekday timetable — treat terminal staffing as **flight-programme dependent** and verify same-day on the contact page. Car hire on the Avinor page: **Avis** (**99 50 13 11**), **Europcar** (**94 14 76 04**). Parking is **OnePark**-operated (customer service 24/7 on the Avinor parking page). Widerøe Ground Handling is the published fixed-wing handler. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: >- Ultra-short Helgeland strip — weather and the future Fagerlia cutover own the clock detail: >- MQN is a one-terminal STOL airport, so walking times inside are short — the schedule risk is Nordland weather on an ~**870 m** asphalt runway (Wikipedia AIP **14/32**; some charts show **13/31** after magnetic renumbering), plus connection risk over Bodø (**BOO**) or Trondheim (**TRD**) when the field goes below minima. Pad same-day connections even when the landside hall looks empty. Overnight stays inside are not part of the published operating pattern. Avinor’s published replacement at **Fagerlia** is scheduled to open **30 September 2027** — until then, tickets and ground transport still mean **Røssvoll**. summary: >- Tiny terminal; Helgeland weather on an ~870 m 14/32 (or 13/31 on some charts) is the real constraint — pad Bodø/Trondheim connections; Fagerlia replaces Røssvoll on 30 Sep 2027. category: timing - label: Terminal title: One compact Røssvoll passenger building — ignore premature Fagerlia labels detail: >- Check-in, security, and the departure hold sit in a single compact passenger terminal at Røssvoll. There is no second fixed-wing terminal and no airside train. Some Avinor CMS pages already say “Fagerlia” in titles while the contact visiting address is still **Røssvoll, 8615 Skonseng** — for travel before the 2027 opening, believe the Røssvoll address and the live flight board, not the future airport’s marketing name. Re-check screens when wind, low cloud, or rain slows the short runway. summary: >- Single Røssvoll terminal; no named airside shop on the current Avinor directory; walking distances are short — do not navigate to Fagerlia yet. category: terminal - label: Food title: No named Avinor shop — eat in Mo i Rana or on the aircraft detail: >- Official Avinor Shopping and food directory for Mo i Rana is empty of named outlets on the research day — no Narvesen, Point, Tax Free, or café title is published. Assume you may find nothing open after security and eat in Mo i Rana centre 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 town or onboard meals. category: food - label: Status title: 'No lounge — taxi, rental car, or a verified Entur bus' detail: >- There is no Priority Pass / LoungeKey / walk-up passenger lounge on current Avinor Mo i Rana shopping pages. For town, plan taxi (~**15–20 minutes**), rental car, or only a bus that Entur actually lists for stop **Mo i Rana lufthavn** (**NSR:StopPlace:59254**) — Avinor does not publish a live English to-and-from page for MQN, and a bus-mode Entur query at research time showed no upcoming trips. Parking is **OnePark**-operated. There is no rail link. summary: >- Zero lounges; taxi or rental car is the practical default into Mo i Rana; Entur lists an airport stop — verify any bus live. 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.
