Mosjøen Airport, Kjærstad (Norwegian: Mosjøen lufthavn, Kjærstad, IATA: MJF, ICAO: ENMS) is a regional airport serving Mosjøen in Nordland, Norway. In 2014 Mosjøen Airport had 61,480 passengers. It is owned and operated by the state owned Avinor.
The airport is served by Widerøe with Dash 8 aircraft connecting the community to Bodø and Trondheim. The routes are operated on public service obligation with the Ministry of Transport and Communications. The runway is too short for flights with enough fuel to reach Oslo.
The airport was opened in 1987 as part of the last group of regional airports to be built in Norway.
In 2002 the Ministry of Transport launched an idea of merging the three airports serving Northern Helgeland, Mosjøen Airport, Sandnessjøen Airport and Mo i Rana Airport into one new airport with a large enough runway to fly Airbus A320/Boeing 737 aircraft directly to Oslo, and make it unnecessary to operate subsidied regional aircraft to Helgeland. The Korgfjell Tunnel opened in 2005 created a reliable and fast road between Mosjøen and Mo i Rana. A better road to Sandnessjøen (Toven Tunnel) was opened 2014.
