 The former could replace Leknes Airport and Svolvær Airport, Helle, the latter could also replace Stokmarknes Airport.As both alternatives imply direct services to Oslo, the leakage to Evenes Airport would be reduced.Gimsøy was the most favoured alternative since Stokmarknes needs ferry access if its airport is replaced, or a future tunnel which seems to expensive, and because Hadselsanden is fairly distant from Leknes ().
