Vadsø Airport serves the 6,000 inhabitants of Vadsø and its neighbouring villages. It is a STOL airport operated by Widerøe DHC-8s, and is often visited by GA and air ambulance King Air B200s. Ceilings here are frequently low, with easterly winds in summer, and south by westerly winds with overcast weather in winter. As with the rest of the Varanger peninsula the climate here is very dry. The 970 meter runway features a challenging 1.5% slope; a 30-40 meter cliff before the 07 threshold; and 4.5 and 4.6 degree glide slopes with localizer for STOL operations.
