Lakselv Airport (Norwegian: Lakselv lufthavn; IATA: LKL, ICAO: ENNA) is an international airport located at Banak, 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) north of the village of Lakselv in Porsanger Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. Co-located with the military Station Group Banak, the airport is owned and operated by the state-owned Avinor. The airport is also branded as North Cape Airport, although the North Cape is 190 km (120 mi) away, and the nearest airport is Honningsvåg Airport, Valan.
The runway is 2,788 meters (9,147 feet) long and aligned nearly north–south. The airport is served by Danish Air Transport with daily direct flights to Tromsø. Weekly Scandinavian Airlines offer direct flights from Lakselv to Oslo, in addition to seasonal international charter services. The airport had 71,763 passengers in 2012. In addition to serving Porsanger, the airport's catchment area includes Karasjok Municipality, Måsøy Municipality, and Lebesby Municipality.
The airfield was constructed with triangular runways in 1938. It was taken over by the Luftwaffe in 1940, who expanded it and laid down two wooden runways. In 1945, it was taken over by the NoRAF and then abandoned in 1952. It reopened in 1963 and was largely funded by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Scandinavian Airlines operated out of the airport to the other primary airports in Finnmark and to Tromsø and Oslo. The runway was extended in 1968. From 1990, flights were taken over by SAS Commuter and the direct flights to Oslo were halted. From the mid-1990s there have been occasional charter flights out of Banak. Widerøe took over SAS' services in 2002.
In 2022 Danish Air Transport operates flights to and from Tromsø.
