Hammerfest Airport — Hammerfest, Norway

HFT designates Hammerfest Airport, serving Hammerfest, a town in northern Norway often cited as one of the world's northernmost towns of its size, located well above the Arctic Circle. The airport provides essential regional connectivity for a community whose remote location and harsh winter conditions make road travel to other parts of Norway impractical for much of the year. HFT primarily handles short-haul domestic flights operated by Norwegian regional carriers, linking Hammerfest with Tromsø and other northern Norwegian towns as part of the country's extensive subsidized regional air network (FOT-ruter). The airport is small, with a short runway suited to the propeller aircraft typically used on Norway's Arctic routes.
