Molde Airport, Årø (IATA: MOL, ICAO: ENML) is a regional airport serving Molde and the surrounding Møre og Romsdal county in western Norway. Situated on the Årø peninsula along the Romsdalsfjord, the airport offers passengers scenic views of the famous 222 mountain peaks visible from Molde on clear days.
The airport is operated by Avinor, the Norwegian state-owned company responsible for managing most civil airports in Norway. It primarily handles domestic traffic, with Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and Widerøe providing scheduled services connecting Molde to Oslo and other Norwegian destinations.
Despite its regional status, Molde Airport plays an important role in connecting the municipality to the rest of Norway, particularly given the area's challenging fjord terrain that makes road travel time-consuming.
