Reykjavík Airport
Reykjavík Airport (Icelandic: Reykjavíkurflugvöllur, is the main domestic airport serving Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, located about from the city centre. Having shorter runways than the city's bigger Keflavík International Airport, which is sited out of town, it only serves internal flights within Iceland and to Greenland, small international charters, transatlantic ferry flights and private flights. It can also serve as alternate airport for flights inbound towards Keflavík, in case of adverse weather conditions there. To distinguish from Keflavík International Airport outside Reykjavík, it is sometimes unofficially called Reykjavik City Airport, and also Reykjavik Domestic Airport, but also Reykjavík international Airport because it has some international flights but mostly domestic ones. Reykjavík Airport is the main hub of Air Iceland Connect and Eagle Air. Of the airport's three runways, two are currently active all-year round. The shortest runway, 06/24, is usually used only in winter, and takeoffs from 06 (northeast direction) are forbidden because of safety and noise. Reykjavík Airport is owned and operated by the state enterprise Isavia.
