Guide to Iceland

There are 464 authorized airports in Iceland. It's probably a number you didn't count on, but Icelandic nature demands it, as many places are only accessible by boat or plane. There is no rail transport in Iceland, which contributes significantly to the increase in air transport. Of course, most airports are a different size to which we are used to, and air transport is provided by four major airports.

The airport was built in 1943 by the US military during World War II. There are currently over 20 airlines flying to Iceland. The estimated number of tourists in 2020 is 7 million. Despite the high number of tourists, Keflavík Airport is relatively small and cozy and waiting during check-in in the high season in 2017 was less than 10 minutes in 98% of cases.
