How do I get from Trondheim to the airport by train?

Trondheim Airport Vaernes has its own rail station on the line east of Trondheim. SJ Nord regional trains link Trondheim S with Trondheim Airport Vaernes in about 35 minutes, with stops also serving Stjordal and other local stations. Search for Vaernes or Trondheim Airport in the booking form when airport rail is available. This rail link is separate from long-distance Dovre Line and Nordland Line services.
