Overview

Bardufoss Airport serves the Målselv region in northern Norway, situated at 69.055801°N latitude. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 252 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in a challenging Arctic environment. The airport supports regional transportation and likely serves military and civilian operations given its strategic northern location.

Flying Conditions

Statistical data reveals predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 86% of observations indicating clear flying weather. Winter temperatures averaging -4.3°C with extreme ranges from -33°C to 22°C present significant temperature variability. Wind patterns are predominantly westerly at 270° with an average speed of 6.4 knots, though calm conditions occur 48.1% of the time, which can impact takeoff and landing procedures.

Notable Features

The single runway 10/28 spans 8,015 feet with an asphalt surface, accommodating various aircraft types. The airport's high latitude location means significant seasonal light variations and potential challenging winter conditions. Geographically positioned in northern Norway, pilots can expect complex terrain and potential rapidly changing meteorological conditions typical of Arctic regions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.7 knots. September, January, and October represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate minimal visibility restrictions, with observations showing an average visibility of 10 statute miles and fog present in only 5.1% of recorded conditions.
