Iceland's southeastern gateway near the Vatnajökull glacier.

Location
Höfn, Iceland
Hornafjörður Airport, designated IATA code HFN, serves the town of Höfn in southeastern Iceland. Situated near the vast Vatnajökull glacier and the scenic Hornafjörður fjord, the airport provides an essential transport link for residents and tourists visiting the region. The airport handles domestic routes connecting Höfn to Reykjavík, making it an important lifeline for a community that can be geographically isolated during harsh weather.

Terminals
The airport operates a single small terminal building suited to its low passenger volume and regional domestic traffic.
