KSU · Compact Avinor coastal gateway with a clear single-terminal layout and reliable local buses into town, but only Point + Tax Free after security, no lounge, and a lone runway that owns the weather risk — solid for Nordmøre hops if you eat before you fly.
MOL · A compact, lounge-free Avinor gateway for Molde and Romsdal — short walks and a 10–20 minute FRAM/taxi hop into town, trading zero lounge product, thin programme-hours F&B, and coastal single-runway weather for simple regional access.
