Short Helgeland strip — coastal weather and Saturday hours own the clock
Tiny terminal; Helgeland weather on a ~1.2 km 03/21 and a short Saturday open window are the real planning constraints — pad Bodø/Trondheim/Oslo connections.

BNN · A compact, lounge-free Avinor short-field for Brønnøysund and southern Helgeland — taxi-first ground access, essentially no published airside F&B, and coastal weather on a ~1.2 km runway as the real tradeoff against total terminal simplicity.
OSY · 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.
