Airports in Iceland: Major Airports and Flight Information
Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is the undisputed gateway to Iceland. It is located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, about 50 kilometers from the capital, Reykjavík, amid a surreal landscape of black lava rock and moss. As soon as they step out of the terminal, travelers feel the raw power of nature that makes this country so unique and attracts millions of visitors each year.
Most adventures in Iceland begin right at the airport when you pick up an all-terrain rental car. From here, it’s just a short drive to the famous “Blue Lagoon” or the “Golden Circle,” a route that leads to massive waterfalls, geyser-like hot springs, and the geologically significant Thingvellir National Park, where the North American and European tectonic plates are drifting apart.
Thanks to clever marketing as a stopover destination between Europe and North America, Iceland is now more accessible than ever before. In winter, tourists flock to the island to chase the magical Northern Lights over the glaciers, while summer beckons with the phenomenon of the midnight sun and endless hiking opportunities. Keflavík Airport often braves extreme weather conditions and remains the island’s vital link to the rest of the world.
