Location

Reykjavík, Iceland

Reykjavík Domestic Airport (RKV/BIRK) is located near the city centre of Reykjavík, Iceland, making it one of the most centrally situated airports in any capital city in the world. It primarily serves domestic Icelandic destinations as well as some Greenlandic and Faroese routes. The airport has served as the hub for domestic Icelandic aviation for decades and is distinct from Keflavík International Airport (KEF), which handles the vast majority of international traffic to Iceland. Reykjavík Airport is operated by Isavia, the Icelandic civil aviation authority. Due to its central location, the airport has periodically been the subject of debate regarding urban development, though it continues to operate as a key node for connectivity across Iceland's regions and remote communities.

Terminals

The airport has a single, compact terminal building handling both departures and arrivals for its domestic and regional operations.

Getting to & from

The airport is located approximately 2 kilometres from the city centre of Reykjavík and is accessible by public bus, taxi, and private vehicle.
