Sandane Airport, Anda ((ノルウェー語:Sandane lufthavn, Anda); ) is a regional airport serving Sandane, Norway. It perpendicularly straddles the Anda peninsula in Gloppen between Nordfjorden and Gloppefjorden. The airport has an asphalt runway measuring and aligned 09/27. Services are provided by Widerøe on public service obligation with the Ministry of Transport and Communications. The airport is owned and operated by the state-owned Avinor and served 37,272 passengers in 2013. The airport was opened on 1 July 1975 as the only public airport serving Nordfjord, four years after the other regional airports in Sogn og Fjordane. Originally the airport was served with de Havilland Canada Twin Otters. The airport was plagued with severe turbulence and low regularity. A terminal expansion took place in 1987 and the runway was slightly expanded in 2010. ==History== The first four airports in Sogn og Fjordane and southern Sunnmøre opened on 1 July 1971: Florø Airport: Førde Airport, Øyrane; Sogndal Airport, Haukåsen and Ørsta–Volda Airport, Hovden. This left the district of Nordfjord without an airport. Four locations were considered; in addition to Anda, these were Markane in Stryn, Bjørlomona in Eid and Mona in Sandane. Anda was ultimately selected. The airport opened on 1 July 1975. Services were part of the West Coast route operated by Widerøe with their 19-seat de Havilland Canada Twin Otters. Services were originally flown to Bergen Airport, Flesland; Ålesund Airport, Vigra and other regional airports on the coast.〔Arnesen: 119〕 To a much greater degree than other regional airports in the area, Anda was subject to severe wind, frequently canceling flights.〔 This was in part due to severe turbulence during the landing. Combined with poor navigation, this caused several near-accidents. This caused additional navigational equipment to be installed.〔 The airport has had much lower regularity than the other airports in the county. 〔 The airport initially had two man-years in the tower and two and a half for other operations. The airport had two employees on duty at any time: one in the tower and one which looked after operations and manned the fire and rescue service, as well as parts of the ground handling. The terminal building was minimal, and check-in was handled by a travel agency in Sandane. This changed in 1987 when the terminal building was rebuilt and the check-in moved to the airport.〔 Widerøe replaced its Twin Otters with the de Havilland Canada Dash 8 in the early 1990s. Ownership of the airport passed from Gloppen Municipality to the Civil Aviation Administration (later renamed Avinor) on 1 January 1997. Airport security was introduced on 1 January 2005. The airport was closed between 1 March and 26 August 2010 for renovations costing NOK 150 million. The main work was lengthening the runway by .〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sandane Airport, Anda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
