Reykjavik International Airport

Reykjavik International Airport opened in the 1940s and remains a compact, convenient gateway just a few minutes’ drive from downtown Reykjavík, with a single terminal handling domestic and short-haul international flights. As Iceland’s busy domestic hub, it’s important for connections to regional destinations including Greenland and the Faroe Islands, and serves as a base for Icelandair’s domestic network and smaller carriers such as Norlandair and Eagle Air. Travelers benefit from quick access by taxi, rideshare or regular city buses, and the airport’s small size makes connections fast; fares are typically affordable on regional routes, with competitive low-cost options available.
