The Norwegian STOLport network (in Norwegian kortbanenettet i Noreg (Nynorsk) or kortbanenettet i Norge (Bokmål)) is a network of STOLports, meaning that they are airports with short runways. The standard length of these runways is 800 m, compared to around 2500 m for a normal airport with 6-seat wide jetliners. In addition to shorter length, these airports are also narrower, with a standard width of 30 m compared to that of 60 m, respectively. They can only be used with small propeller aircraft. As of 2020, 26 of these airports are in use and 4 have been closed.
The Norwegian STOLport network is a result of political decisions in the 1960s and start of the 1970s. The goal was to meet the requirement for better infrastructure out in the countryside, where there was a great desire for the establishment of airports. The network was officially opened 30 June 1968 by minister of transport Håkon Kyllingmark together with mayors, county governors and representatives of the airlines.[1] Together they flew the route Trondheim–Namsos–Brønnøysund–Sandnessjøen–Mo i Rana–Bodø, with ribbon-cutting opening ceremonies at each stop.[2] Most of the airports were subsequently built in the period 1968–1975.[2]
