Húsavík Airport

HZK is Húsavík Airport, serving the whaling town of Húsavík on Iceland's northern coast, often called Iceland's whale-watching capital due to the abundant marine life in Skjálfandi Bay. The airport is small, handling limited scheduled domestic flights along with charter and general aviation traffic, since most visitors reach Húsavík by road from Akureyri or Reykjavik. Tourism drives much of the airport's relevance, as Húsavík has become a popular base for whale-watching tours and for exploring nearby natural attractions like Ásbyrgi canyon and the Diamond Circle route. HZK's modest infrastructure reflects the town's small year-round population, but seasonal tourist demand brings noticeable increases in air traffic during Iceland's peak summer travel months.
