Honningsvåg (HVG): closed on Saturdays, and the town bus stop has moved
The airport for Nordkapp does not open at all on Saturday. In town, the Honningsvåg stop was withdrawn for four Snelandia routes on 26 August 2026 and replaced by Øvergata kryss.
- The terminal is closed all day on Saturday. Avinor publishes no Saturday hours at all.
- Weekdays are 05:30 to 23:30, a long day either side of that.
- Sunday is 16:45 to 23:30. Afternoon and evening only.
- From 26 August 2026 the Honningsvåg stop is out of use for routes 110, 240, 241 and Fleks 815.
- Use the Øvergata kryss stop instead, which is by Intersport in Honningsvåg.
- The change applies to every departure on those routes. Check where the stop is before you travel.
- Snelandia says the reason is traffic safety and accessibility, and updated stop information is in the journey planner.
- Visiting address: Honningsvåg Airport, 9751 Honningsvåg. The field is at Valan.
- Parking is free, with all vehicles parked at the owner's own risk.
- Ground handling is on +47 41 70 66 40.
- This is the airport for Nordkapp, so summer demand is very different from the winter timetable.
- Finnmark's county buses are run by Snelandia, and part of the network is Fleks, which only runs when somebody books it.
- A Fleks trip must be booked at least two hours before the route starts, counted from the start of the route and not from your own stop.
- For the first departure of the next morning, book by 21:00 the evening before.
- Fleks is normally operated by taxi or minibus. On some stretches that means four seats in a car.
- Prebooked passengers are prioritised. If you miss the deadline you can try turning up, but only if somebody else booked the trip.
- Luggage space on a Fleks taxi is limited, and Snelandia asks you to ring ahead if you have a lot.
- Bicycles and dogs are not normally carried on Fleks unless agreed in advance.
- Cancel a Fleks booking on 75 77 18 88 or by email to Snelandia.
- Route enquiries in Finnmark are on 177.
- Use the journey planner rather than a printed timetable. Snelandia says only the planner shows deviations and public holidays.
- Read the day codes on a printed table carefully. DX67 means daily except Saturday and Sunday, DX6 means daily except Saturday.
Saturday is the trap
- Honningsvåg does not open on Saturday. Avinor's table gives weekdays 05:30 to 23:30 and Sunday 16:45 to 23:30, and no Saturday row.
- The weekday hours are long, which makes the Saturday closure easy to miss when you are booking a weekend around Nordkapp.
The bus stop moved in August 2026
- Snelandia withdrew the Honningsvåg stop for routes 110, 240, 241 and Fleks 815 from 26 August 2026, for traffic safety and accessibility reasons.
- Travellers on those routes now use Øvergata kryss, the stop by Intersport in Honningsvåg.
- The change applies to all departures on those routes, and Snelandia advises finding the stop before you travel. Updated stop information is in the journey planner rather than on older printed material.
On the ground
- Honningsvåg Airport, 9751 Honningsvåg, at Valan. Parking is free, all vehicles at the owner's own risk. Ground handling: +47 41 70 66 40.
The county bus network behind the airport
- None of the small Finnmark airports has an airport bus. What exists is Snelandia, the Finnmark county network, and part of it runs on demand.
- Fleks routes appear on the timetable but only operate when somebody books them. They exist so that a thin route keeps a service instead of running an empty bus.
- Book at least two hours before the route starts. Note the wording: two hours before the start of the route, not before it reaches your stop.
- For a first morning departure, book by 21:00 the evening before, so the driver can plan.
- The vehicle is normally a taxi or a minibus, sometimes with only four seats. Passengers who booked come first; if there is room the driver may take others.
- Luggage space is limited on a taxi-operated Fleks route, and bicycles and dogs are not normally carried without prior agreement. With hold baggage off a flight, that is worth a phone call.
Numbers and timetables
- Route enquiries 177. Customer service 75 77 18 88. Cancellations go through the same number or by email.
- Snelandia recommends the journey planner over a printed table, because only the planner carries deviations and public holidays.
- If you do read a printed table, the day codes matter: D is daily, DX6 is daily except Saturday, DX67 is weekdays only, 1 to 5 is Monday to Friday.
