The standard manner of arriving to Tromsø is by plane, the two major companies are: SAS and Norwegian. Airport is located on the main island, 10 min from the city center, details can be found here. From the airport you can take either the express bus or the local bus or a taxi to the city center or to the University/ University Hospital, here is the info. 

We advise to plan your trip in good time. Almost all flights to Tromsø have a stop in Oslo, remember to collect the baggage to go through the customs (even if it is registered through to Tromsø). Most of the flights connect at the main Oslo airport Gardermoen (OSL), but some low cost companies arrive to the small Oslo airport Torp/Sandefjord (TRF). In the latter case secure enough time for interchange as you'll need to take an express-bus. Some other flight options include arriving directly to Tromsø from London or Stockholm.
