## Description

Fresh salmon, cod and king crab dominate what leaves Finnmark by air, and Alta Airport (ALF/ENAT) moves that traffic as belly cargo rather than through a freighter operation — around 330 tonnes were recorded in 2014, the most recent publicly documented figure. Operated by Avinor, the airport is served by Widerøe, SAS, Norwegian, Finnair and Discover Airlines, with non-stop links to Oslo and Tromsø plus a regional feeder network to Hammerfest, Kirkenes, Berlevåg and Vadsø. No dedicated cargo terminal or scheduled freighter service is confirmed here, so time-critical consignments travel in the holds of passenger flights. Most seafood volume in fact moves by refrigerated truck along the E6 towards Tromsø (roughly 400 road kilometres) or onward to southern Norwegian gateways. Tromsø (TOS) and Kirkenes (KKN, some 500 km by road) are the realistic alternative airports for shippers in the region. Norway belongs to the EEA but sits outside the EU customs union, so shipments from the EU require a declaration to the Norwegian customs authority Tolletaten.
