Svalbard is a group of islands located in the Arctic Sea north of Scandinavia. It's a part of Norway, but has a special adminsitrative status as an Unincorporated Area.

There are only two current airports on the archipelago, with the biggest one being Svalbard Airport, Longyearbyen (ICAO ENSB) and the other Ny-Alesund (ENAS). Additionally, there are heliports near the coal mining towns of Barentsburg (ENBA) and Pyramiden (ENPY) as well as heliports serving the meteorological and radio stations of Isfjord, Hopen and Bjørnøya. The former airport of Svea (ENSA) was demolished along with the town after mining was discontinued there.
