Avinor is planning building a new primary airport to serve Lofoten and possibly also Vesterålen. The region wants to be more attractive on the conference market which would create more job opportunities outside the tourist season, and there is a need to adopt airports to modern aircraft types.

There are plans to build a tunnel along the road E10 which would reduce the road distance from Svolvær to Gimsøy and Leknes by 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) and 6 minutes, probably built after 2030.[5] There is since 2023 an ongoing project to reduce the road travel time to Evenes by 30 minutes to well below 2 hours, finished 2028.[6]
