 However weather recordings has shown that Gimsøy, located at the big ocean, is too windy and foggy for an airport.Therefore, the main option now is to extend Leknes, considering that Svolvær airport has no room for extension.There are plans to build a tunnel along the road E10 which would reduce the road distance from Svolvær to Gimsøy and Leknes by and 6 minutes.
