About Mývatn Airport
Mývatn Airport is a small airfield serving Reykjahlíð and the Lake Mývatn area in northeastern Iceland. It mainly handles general aviation, private flights and sightseeing operations rather than large scheduled commercial services.
Located about 2 km northwest of Reykjahlíð, the airport provides convenient access to Lake Mývatn, the Mývatn Nature Baths and attractions along the Diamond Circle route, including Húsavík and Ásbyrgi.
The airport has a single asphalt runway and a compact passenger building. Passenger facilities are limited, and onward travel is usually arranged by rental car, private transfer or pre-booked transport; Akureyri, the nearest larger regional centre, lies around 100 km to the west.
For travellers exploring North Iceland, MVA is a practical entry point for the Mývatn region, with road access to nearby villages and natural sites.
