About Kópasker Airport
Kópasker Airport (OPA) is a small rural airport serving Kópasker, a coastal village in the Norðurþing municipality of northeast Iceland. Located approximately 1 km northwest of the village centre, it provides an air link for a remote area between Öxarfjörður and the Melrakkaslétta peninsula.
The airport has a compact terminal and basic runway facilities, reflecting its role as a local domestic airfield rather than a large passenger hub. It supports access to Kópasker and surrounding farms and communities, where road distances in this sparsely populated region can be long.
Because of its location on Iceland's northeast coast, the airport is reached mainly by road from the village and nearby areas. Onward travel is typically arranged by car, private transfer or local taxi, since public transport is limited.
For visitors exploring the north of Iceland, Kópasker Airport offers a simple entry point to the Öxarfjörður area and the wider Norðurþing region, with basic passenger facilities scaled to local demand.
