History:
Værøy Airport (Norwegian: Værøy lufthavn; IATA: VRY, ICAO: ENVY) was a regional airport located on the southern tip of the Lofoten archipelago in Northern Norway, on the island of Værøya in Værøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. Operated between 1986 and 1990, it had an 800-by-30-meter (2,625 by 98 ft) asphalt runway aligned 07–25. The airport was owned and operated by the Værøy Municipality. It was served by Widerøe, who operated de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft to the town of Bodø and the nearby island of Røstlandet. After a fatal accident in 1990, the airport was shut down.
Widerøe commenced seaplane operations to Værøy from 1965; five years later the first helicopter services were introduced. Planning of an airport started in the late 1960s, but unfavorable weather conditions prolonged finding a suitable location. The decision to build the airport was taken in 1984, construction began the following year and the airport opened on 1 June 1986. The fatal Widerøe Flight 839 accident took place on 12 April 1990, in which heavy wind caused structural failure of a Twin Otter. The airport has been closed since; helicopter services commenced in 1993 and Værøy Heliport ENVR opened in 1997.
It‘s name is derivative from the old Norse name of veðrøy, the first part of the name veðr meaning weather and øy island. Settlements on the island can be traced back to the bronze ages, with 3000 year old cave paintings that were discovered in 1997. Currently the island has a population of only 748, most of them living on the southern side of the island named Sørland (Southern land). This area surrounds the main harbor and is also where the heliport is located.
