Akureyri International Airport (AEY/BIAR) is the second busiest airport in Iceland, located near the city of Akureyri on the shores of Eyjafjörður fjord in northern Iceland. It serves as the primary air link between the capital region of Reykjavík and northern Iceland, as well as handling international charter and scheduled services. The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 6 metres above sea level and operates year-round, supporting both commercial aviation and general aviation traffic. Its location in a fjord valley means pilots must navigate mountainous terrain during approaches, making it a technically demanding airfield. Akureyri is Iceland's second largest city and a major hub for tourism in northern Iceland, with the airport playing a key role in connecting the region to domestic and international destinations, particularly during the summer tourist season.
