    Namsos Airport, Høknesøra (Norwegian Namsos lufthavn), IATA **OSY** / ICAO
    **ENNM**, sits on Høknesøra / Høknes along the Namsen in Namsos
    Municipality, Trøndelag — about **4 km** east of Namsos town centre by road
    (coordinate great-circle). Visiting address **Namsos lufthavn, 7800
    Namsos**; postal **Avinor, Namsos lufthavn, Postboks 150, 2061 Gardermoen**.
    Official English hub: avinor.no/en/airport/namsos/. Do not confuse it with
    Namsos’s coastal neighbour Rørvik (**RVK**), Røst (**RET**), Røros
    (**RRS**), Brønnøysund (**BNN**), or Trondheim Værnes (**TRD**).

    Operator: **Avinor**. Official passengers-2025.xlsx (scheduled +
    non-scheduled roll-up, column S): **32,270** passengers in **2025**
    (**+14.1%** vs about **28,276** in **2024**). Terminal passengers (column
    N): **21,736**. Fully civilian Avinor regional short-field for Namsos /
    Namdal — not a closed military airbase. Norwegian Wikipedia: opened **1967**
    as a civil STOL field on Høknes.
  - >-
    One hard runway **07/25**. English Wikipedia’s facilities table lists about
    **935 × 30 m** asphalt (AIP-linked cite). SkyVector publishes about **3,074
    × 98 ft** / **937 × 30 m** hard with displaced thresholds about **49 ft /
    118 ft**. OurAirports lists about **2,749 × 98 ft** / **838 × 30 m** paved.
    Norwegian Wikipedia still shows an older **800 m** figure — treat physical
    vs declared distances carefully and prefer the current AIP when dispatching.
    Field elevation about **2–2.4 m / 7–8 ft** MSL (Wikipedia / OurAirports /
    SkyVector).
  - >-
    No rail at the curb. Avinor currently publishes **no dedicated to-and-from /
    flybuss page** for Namsos (404 on the usual English and Norwegian paths).
    Entur registers stop **Namsos lufthavn** (**NSR:StopPlace:62372**); live
    journey data commonly shows local bus **695** (Namsos–Grong corridor)
    calling at the airport toward **Namsos skysstasjon** — re-check Entur on the
    day rather than inventing a high-frequency airport coach. Taxi remains the
    reliable default for the short hop into town.
  - >-
    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
    OSY. Free Wi‑Fi SSID **AIRPORT** (~**4 hours** after captive-portal accept).
    No passenger lounge is listed on Avinor’s Namsos shopping page; Priority
    Pass / LoungeKey have nothing to redeem here.
  - >-
    Official shopping directory: Avinor’s Namsos Shopping and food page
    currently lists **no named café, kiosk, or Tax Free shop** (schema.org
    ItemList **numberOfItems: 0**). Treat airside retail as absent and confirm
    on the day. Hub airline at research time is **Widerøe** (Dash 8) on PSO
    services — English Wikipedia’s destination list commonly cites **Mo i
    Rana**, **Rørvik**, **Sandnessjøen**, and **Trondheim**; Norwegian Wikipedia
    currently lists **Oslo**, **Rørvik**, and **Trondheim** — confirm the live
    Avinor / Widerøe board. Published terminal hours on the contact page
    (unlabelled season window at research time): weekdays **06:00–22:45**;
    **Saturday closed**; Sunday **09:00–17:00** and **21:00–22:45**. Car hire on
    the Avinor page: **Avis** (**482 10 500**) and **Hertz** (**74 20 90 00** /
    reservations **22 10 00 00**). Parking is **OnePark**-operated (desk **64 81
    19 80**, 24/7). Widerøe Ground Handling is the published fixed-wing handler
    (**+47 41 70 64 50**).
bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: Namdal weather on a ~935 m 07/25 strip — and Saturday is closed
    detail: >-
      OSY is a one-terminal regional airport, so walking times inside are short
      — the schedule risks are Namdal weather on an ~**935 m** 07/25 asphalt
      strip (English Wikipedia / SkyVector ~937 m; OurAirports ~838 m; Norwegian
      Wikipedia’s older 800 m figure) and the published **Saturday closed**
      contact-page window. Weekday hours **06:00–22:45** are long for a field
      this size, but do not invent Saturday landside access. Pad same-day
      Trondheim (**TRD**) connections even when the hall looks empty.
    summary: >-
      Tiny terminal; short 07/25 runway weather plus a published Saturday
      closure are the real planning constraints — pad TRD connections.

  - label: Terminal
    title: One compact passenger building at Høknesøra — opened 1967
    detail: >-
      Check-in and bag drop sit landside in the single passenger terminal. There
      is no second fixed-wing terminal and no airside train. Re-check screens;
      gate calls still move when wind, low cloud, or precipitation slows the
      field. Visiting address on Avinor’s contact page: **Namsos lufthavn, 7800
      Namsos**.
    summary: >-
      Single fixed-wing terminal; no named airside shop on the current Avinor
      directory; walking distances are short.

  - label: Food
    title: No named Avinor shop — eat in Namsos or on the aircraft
    detail: >-
      Official Avinor Shopping and food directory for Namsos is empty of named
      outlets on the research day — no Narvesen, Point, Tax Free, or café title
      is published (ItemList count **0**). Assume you may find nothing open
      after security and eat in Namsos 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
      eat in town or onboard.

    title: 'No lounge — taxi default; Entur bus 695 is sparse, not a flybuss'
    detail: >-
      There is no Priority Pass / LoungeKey / walk-up passenger lounge on
      current Avinor Namsos shopping pages. Avinor does not publish a dedicated
      Namsos to-and-from coach page. Entur stop **Namsos lufthavn**
      (**NSR:StopPlace:62372**) exists and live data often shows local bus
      **695** toward Namsos skysstasjon / Grong — treat that as a must-verify
      local service, not a guaranteed flight-bank flybuss. Default to taxi (~**4
      km** into Namsos) or a pre-booked Avis / Hertz rental. Parking is
      **OnePark**-operated (24/7 desk **64 81 19 80**). There is no rail link at
      the curb.
    summary: >-
      Zero lounges; no published Avinor flybuss; Entur 695 is optional
      live-check only — taxi / rental car; no airport rail.

      Avinor security practice allows empty bottles through screening; refill

# Namsos Airport, Høknesøra (OSY)
Namsos, Norway · Europe
A compact, lounge-free Avinor STOL field on Høknesøra for Namsos and Namdal — no named café on Avinor’s shopping list, Saturday terminal closure on the contact page, taxi (or sparse Entur bus 695) instead of a published flybuss, and short-runway weather on 07/25 as the tradeoff against total terminal simplicity.
## Airportist Score

- No published Avinor flybuss; Entur bus 695 is sparse local transit to verify live
- ~935 m Wikipedia/SkyVector 07/25 (OurAirports ~838 m; older NO wiki 800 m) — Namdal weather regularly moves TRD connections
