Svolvær airport (ENSH) with its 2800 foot runway provides both essential and tourist services to the nearby town of Svolvær, with daily Dash 8-100/200 flights by Widerøe as well as air ambulance service and general aviation flights.

Created by the developer of Leknes (ENLK) for World Update 15, Svolvær airport is located in an airport-dense environment only 24 NM from Leknes, with Bodø, Skagen, and Evenes just short hops away. This is a great place to start or end your flight in one of the most beautiful areas of the world.

ENSH has been faithfully recreated based on reference images, charts, and a tour of the airport in 2023, and includes the new taxiway A, the new arrival terminal, updated runway 18/36 with custom and accurate runway lighting. While the location is the same as my older freeware package of the airport, this version has every part of the airport remade from the ground up as accurately as possible, down to the placement of each of the three types of taxiway light armature.

Important notes: This version of Svolvær airport features its distinct circling lights and flashing lights (one section sequenced and the other section not) to guide you on the circling approach to runway 18. The flashing circling lights can be activated in-sim by tuning NAV2 radio to 111.00 MHz. As the tower was demolished during the winter, the old tower is coded to only appear if your flying date is set to 2023 or earlier. As a temporary measure, this package includes instrument approach procedures for runway 36, as these are missing in the default MSFS (2020) navdata. These may get removed from the package in future updates if conflicts arise.

Having World Update 15 with Leknes (ENLK) installed is highly recommended to enable all features. As this is a small airport, turning the airport Ground Vehicle setting to 0% is recommended to prevent blocked taxiways.

MSFS 2024 compatibility: My aim is to ensure this scenery fully works in MSFS 2024 as soon as possible after the release of MSFS 2024.
