Isavia CEO, Sveinbjörn Indridason, tells Joe Bates more about the growth and development plans of Iceland’s Keflavík Airport.

Keflavík Airport (KEF), Iceland’s gateway to the world, states that it is constantly evolving to keep up with demand and meet the growing needs of passengers and the aviation industry.

And like the rugged and ever changing Reykjanes peninsula around it in south west Iceland which has seen four volcanic eruptions since December 2023, the airport is currently very active in terms of new infrastructure, route development and customer service initiatives.

Last year saw the construction of a new taxiway and the opening of a new baggage hall and an improved border control area as part of the airport’s East Wing extension designed to improve the arrivals experience for non-Schengen passengers.

A host of new retail and F&B outlets also opened at KEF last year. These included popular Danish restaurant, Jómfrúin and new eateries Baked and Elda.
