General:

Large regional airport serving the area surrounding Ålesund
   

Appearance:

The airport appears modern with lots of light and glass

Inbound

Domestic
On arrival you walk from the plane into the building entering into the baggage reclaim hall. From there it's just a set of sliding doors out into the arrivals hall

For domestic flights there is a single belt in a small space that became quite cramped with just our 737 load of passengers.

Buses into town meet each flight. There are supposed to be matching buses back from the town to the airport, but when I travelled the only options were getting to the airport with 4 hours to spare or just 35 minutes before departure, so I was forced to use a (very expensive) taxi

Outbound

Domestic
There is a small check-in area, and as is common in the Nordic countries it's fully self service with machines to check-in and print both boarding cards and baggage tags - you load and dispatch your own bags through the self-service luggage belts. Once through security there is a large domestic departures lounge on the ground floor. All boarding is done by walking across the apron
