[edit] History

The airport was opened in 1958, as the first in Møre og Romsdal. Scheduled flights were offered by Braathens S.A.F.E using de Havilland Heron aircraft, later replaced with Fokker F-27, Fokker F-28 and Boeing 737 aircraft.

In 1986 the present terminal was opened along with an extended runway, and the next year a new complex of bridges and underwater road tunnels connected the airport to Ålesund, without the need for ferries.

In 1998 the new low-cost carrier Color Air started services to the new Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. This resulted in a price war in addition to Scandinavian Airlines also starting services to the city. Today the airport is operated by Scandinavian Airlines, its subsidiary airBaltic, and main Norwegian rival Norwegian.
