The regular flight from Tromsø about to touch down in Longyearbyen. Photo taken from the hill next to the airport.

Arriving from Oslo and Tromsø.

Clearing the deck again after what seemed to be an engine test run. The -OLR would go in the most right part hangar, the other helicopter (LN-OMX) is getting pushed back inside its part of the hangar. In the background you can see the ocean and a sightseeing boat. The "Sysselmannen" titles refer to the Governor of Svalbard.

Taxiing out to the active runway. In the background you can see D-ITWL, a Cessna 425. We saw it arrive earlier that morning and I was quite surprised to see a relatively small prop so far out in the arctic and far from the 'normal' ferry routes. SE-DUY was originally delivered to Lufthansa Cityline in September 1993 as D-ACLK. It was involved in an incident at Dusseldorf on December 28, 2001 when the aircraft was damaged by moveable stairs/and/or GPU due to strong winds. Withdrawn from use in June 2006 and transferred to Bombardier that same month as C-FLGK. The aircraft was converted to a PF version and was delivered to West Air Sweden in June 2007.

On short final for runway 28. The company has two 228s and they are used on flights to/from the settlements Ny-Ålesund and Svea (which are also on Svalbard). Photo taken from the hill adjacent to the airport.
