Honningsvåg Airport (IATA code: HVG, ICAO code: ENHV) is a regional airport serving Honningsvåg in Nordkapp, Norway. The airport is located at Valan, on the south side of Skipsfjorden, 4 kilometers north of the town, and 31 kilometers from the North Cape.
The airport’s terminal has a capacity for 150 passengers per hour. In 2019, the airport handled more than 25,000 passengers.
The airport was planned as part of the construction of short take-off and landing airports in Finnmark, but did not open until 30 June 1977 because of airport's difficult terrain and landing conditions. The difficult terrain and wind conditions force aircraft to approach the airport in a semi-circle in both directions. The limited space also makes it impossible to extend the runway.
