About Reykhólar Airport
Reykhólar Airport (RHA) is a small general aviation airfield serving the village of Reykhólar and the surrounding Westfjords area of north-western Iceland. The airfield lies close to the village, just off the Karlseyjarvegur road, and is used mainly for private aircraft, charter flights and occasional domestic operations rather than regular scheduled airline services.
The airfield has a single gravel runway aligned roughly east–west, with basic apron parking and a simple shelter building. Its modest infrastructure reflects its role as a local transport link for the Reykhólar community, which is known for its geothermal activity and seaweed processing, rather than a large commercial hub.
Reykhólar is about 230 km by road from Reykjavík, and road connections run along the coast into the Westfjords. Travellers using the airfield usually continue by private car, pre-arranged transfer or rental vehicle, since scheduled public transport is limited in this part of Iceland.
For pilots and passengers, Reykhólar Airport offers a compact and straightforward arrival point for exploring the Westfjords, with weather and daylight conditions in Iceland requiring careful planning throughout the year.
