## Description

Norway's easternmost airport sits at Høybuktmoen, about 15 km west of Kirkenes in the Sør-Varanger borderland of Finnmark, and carries the codes KKN (ICAO ENKR). State operator Avinor runs the single 2,115 m asphalt runway. Widerøe is the busiest carrier, fanning out across eastern Finnmark, while SAS and Norwegian fly Boeing 737s to Oslo Gardermoen and Finnair links the only international route, to Ivalo in Finland.
