Arvidsjaur Airport — Arvidsjaur, Sweden

Arvidsjaur Airport, serving the town of Arvidsjaur in Norrbotten, Sweden's northernmost county, has just one runway, at 1,245 feet above sea level, well within the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland. Norrbotten covers a vast, sparsely populated stretch of northern Sweden, and towns like Arvidsjaur rely on air links to stay connected during the long, dark winters when road conditions can turn difficult. A direct flight connects the field to Stockholm, cutting a journey that would otherwise take the better part of a day down to a couple of hours.
