<p class="blog-para pb-lg-2">Plans for scheduled flights to &Aring;lesund were first articulated in 1919 by a government commission as part of a coastal seaplane route from Stavanger to Trondheim.</p>
<p class="blog-para pb-lg-2">The first landing in &Aring;lesund took place on 27 May 1920. Thereafter flights were sporadic. The Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service set up a base at Skutvika near the town center in November 1929, which they used to search for herring. They moved the base the following year, establishing &Aring;lesund Airport, S&oslash;rneset. Later used both for civilian flights, scheduled services and Luftwaffe operations, the S&oslash;rneset water aerodrome remained in use until 1979. Work on a land airport around &Aring;lesund started with a public speech held by Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen in 1933. In further speeches, he proposed Vigra or the Moa area of Spjelkavik as suitable locations. The former was preferred by the government, who included it in its 1935 plan for primary airports. Following the Nazi invasion of Norway during World War II, the Luftwaffe also considered Moa as a suitable location for the region, but instead opted to build an airport on Gossa, which was not completed by the end war.</p>
<p class="blog-para pb-lg-2">After the war ended, M&oslash;re og Romsdal County Municipality established a commission to look into the location of a central airport for the county of M&oslash;re og Romsdal. They concluded that since Gossa was nearly completed and was more centrally located within the county, it would be a preferred location. Community leaders in &Aring;lesund lobbied to have Vigra chosen, and in 1951 two students completed calculations showing that Vigra would be cheaper than Gossa. Despite this, Gossa was selected by Parliament in 1952.</p>
