The runway of the former airport is now used as a simple parking space for mobile homes.

Planning for an airport began in the late 1960s, but unfavorable weather conditions delayed the search for a suitable site. The decision to build the airport was made in 1984, construction began the following year, and the airport opened on June 1, 1986. The fatal accident of Widerøe Flight 839 occurred on April 12, 1990, in which high winds caused a Twin Otter to structurally fail. The airport has since been closed; Helicopter service began in 1993 and Værøy Heliport opened in 1997.
