Airport facilities
Start-and runway
The airport has a 1,460 meter long runway . This is paved and aligned in the operating direction 14/32. Since the airport does not have a taxiway , there is a turning area for aircraft at both ends of the runway. This facility is only used at smaller airports with aircraft that can survive such a rotation.
Incidents
On October 10, 2006 a BAe 146-200 ( aircraft registration number OY-CRG ) of Atlantic Airways had an accident . She was on a charter flight to Molde . When braking, the machine rolled over the end of the runway and caught fire. Of the 16 occupants, twelve were able to get to safety before the plane burned out. Among the four fatally injured was a Faroese stewardess , the other three were Norwegian workers. The combination of several factors led to the disaster: On the one hand, the pilots did not know that the runway was still damp, on the other hand, there was a slight tailwind when landing and, in addition, the spoilers could not be braked as usual , because they were malfunctioning . The pilots responded by attempting to use the emergency brake to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, this did not reduce the speed sufficiently effectively because the emergency brake did not have an anti-lock braking system and the wheels locked on the wet runway - the runway has no grooves in the asphalt .
