BODO AIRPORT ASSISTANCE

History of Bodø International Airport

Postal flights to Bodø started in 1921, and before 1940 Bodø was served with sea planes from Widerøe. The first runway at Bodø Airport was built during World War II by British troops, after Germany had invaded Norway. On 26 May 1940, three Royal Air Force Gloster Gladiators, led by Flight Lieutenant Caesar Hull, landed and made the first airborne defence for the city. The area was swampland, and the first makeshift runway consisted of wooden planks floating on the water. Soon the German Luftwaffe seized control over the airport and held it for the duration of the war, among other things upgrading the runway to concrete. In the early 1980s, the current civilian terminal was discussed and planned. The Norwegian Ministry of Finance approved the project early in 1988. The construction started a few weeks after its approval and was completed in spring 1990. The terminal has 11 gates, three with jetways. Since its opening in 1990, the number of passengers increased from 820,000 to 1,700,000 in 2013.
