operates its 333 squadron with its 6 Orion aircrafts from an old geographically
optimal location on Andøya. The planes also has its maintenance base on
Andøya. Aproximate 300 people has its daily work at Andøya air base, which
is a corner stone enterprise in Andoy county with a conciderable local

Defence Logistics organization, estate district Anoya and the military
intelligence service. All these units have its activites ties to the Orion
aircrafts. In addition to these, AVINOR, meteorological institute and

Andøya air
base in change
Andøya air base has in conformity with the rest of the Norwegian defence
forces, gone through large changes and is still going through an adaptation
of its activity. The term, “compact station” was introduce
already during the 50’s when the station was built. There are still
a few investments left before the goal of achieving a true “compact
station” is reached.
History
On a NATO meeting
in lisboa in 1951, regarding the placement of the infrastructure program
assets, it was solemnly uttered a request to build an air base on Andøya.
The resolution was thereby placed on the agenda and continuously discussed
by the military leadership, who meant that Andøya had a superior location,
both from a strategic viewpoint as well as on flight basis. In the Harstad
times, on the 6th of Februrary 1952, the chief of airforce, liutenant
general Finn Lambrechts, stated that Andøya was a superior location for
for an airport/air base With the support in this and similar statements,
rumours had it that NATO and the Norwegian defence force was planning
to build an air base on Andøya. In the middle of March the same year,
the minister of defence, Nils Langhelle informed the press that it was
decided that there would be an air base on Andøya. There were many similar
options, as well as on the sourthern, central and northern part of the
island. What probably became the conclusive factor for the choice of airbase
location was the access to harbour facilities. At Andenes chief engineer
Holst in the governmental harbour authoritites, caught sight of a possibility
to expand the harbour and to develop Andenes into a large fishery harbour.
