Short Helgeland strip — coastal weather and Saturday hours own the clock

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.
RVK · A compact, lounge-free Avinor STOL field at Ryum for Rørvik and Nærøysund — no named café on Avinor’s shopping list, taxi or Hertz instead of a published airport bus, and Namdal coastal weather on a sub-1 km 04/22 runway as the tradeoff against total terminal simplicity.
