While there are three airports within the archipelago, two of which are used chiefly to convey miners, Svalbard Airport is open to profitable travel. The extreme cold climate was a main problem while construction but Engineers used it to their errand during edifice and built the runway on a layer of permafrost. The airport was completed in the year 1975, but an extreme cold climatic condition causes some of the sections of the runway to heave and there comes a need to repave it on numerous circumstances.
