Avinor wants to extend most short airports to 1200 m by year 2030, because they see a lack of aircraft types which have more than 19 seats able to use 800-meter runways. Dash 8 built after 2009 can't use them. Few countries apart from Norway have such short airports. There is however no room for this at Hasvik, so the plan here and for some other airports with few passengers, is to use small planes with less than 20 seats. Land reclamation in order to expand the airfield could be considered, however it is economically unviable.
