Svalbard Airport Longyear (IATA: LYR) is the only major airport on Svalbard. It services Scandinavian Airlines (SAS Norge) flights to Tromsø most days all year around, and there are additional flights as well as twice-weekly services direct to Oslo in the summer high season.
There is the possibility of chartered services to other bases on Svalbard, but these are generally reserved for scientists and those travelling on expeditions to the North Pole itself.
The airport is fully equipped with a restaurant and a souvenir shop. Despite its small size, it is operated in the same way as other Norwegian state-run airports with full security checks and passport control.
Airport shuttle buses (50kr) connect with all flights arriving and departing at the airport. Taxis are also available.
