<p class="blog-para">The first airport in Troms&oslash; was a water aerodrome located at Skatt&oslash;ra, located in the then separate municipality of Troms&oslash;ysund. It was established in the 1930s and was at first served by Norwegian Air Lines (DNL). During World War II it was taken over by Luftwaffe and the aerodrome was expanded. A new seaplane route was established by DNL in 1946 with a daily service to Trondheim using a Junkers Ju 52, which after a few months was extended northwards to Kirkenes.</p>
<p class="blog-para">Operation of the water aerodrome was taken over from the Royal Norwegian Air Force by the municipalities of Troms&oslash; and Troms&oslash;ysund.</p>
<p class="blog-para">They built a new wharf and a terminal building and operated it as a joint venture on a per capita basis. From 1947 the larger and faster Short Sandringham flying boat was introduced on the route and a direct service to Oslo was introduced, allowing a travel time of eight hours. The Sandringhams would all be written off in accidents. With the opening of Bod&oslash; Airport in 1952 the Ju 52 was again put into service. This lasted until 1956, when Bardufoss Airport opened and passengers from Troms&oslash; were transported there by bus (around 140 km/85 mi). In 1958 there were 6,825 Troms&oslash;-bound passengers.</p>
