Húsavík Airport (Icelandic: Húsavíkurflugvöllur in Icelandic pronounced as /ˈhuːsaˌviːkʏrˌflʏɣˌvœtlʏr̥/, regionally also in Icelandic pronounced as /-ˌviːkʰʏr-/) is an airport serving Húsavík, Iceland. The runway is southwest of the town. The airport had scheduled Eagle Air services to Reykjavik Airport until 1 April 2024.
The opening of the Vaðlaheiðargöng tunnel in 2018 shortened the distance by 16 km to Akureyri (and Akureyri International Airport) to only 75km, around a one-hour drive. This led to scheduled services to Húsavik Airport being cut back and eventually scrapped.[4] As of 2024, the Icelandic government is in discussions to introduce a subsidised seasonal winter service to Húsavik Airport.[5]
The Gardur non-directional beacon (Ident: GA) (4.1 nautical miles) and the Husavik non-directional beacon (Ident: HS) (1.1 nautical miles) are located off the threshold of runway 03.[6] [7]
