This is a list of airports in Norway, grouped by type and sorted by location served. It currently contains only airports which have ICAO airport codes; those codes are linked to each airport's page at AIP Norway.
The airports are be classified as "primary" (stamrute), and "regional" (regionale). The primary airports are served by jets from SAS and Norwegian, and several have international flights. The smaller regional airports have in many cases short runways and were built for STOL flights, such as the Bombardier Dash 8 planes used by Widerøe. The regional airports located north of Trondheim do not usually have flights to Oslo, but only to a primary airport, because of the limited range of the STOL planes. Because of the often slow road network in northern and western Norway there is a need for air as regional transportation method.
Avinor operate the majority of public airports, of which 16 are primary, and 29 are secondary. Torp and Rygge are the largest private airports.

The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
