Reykjavík Domestic Airport

Reykjavík Domestic Airport, coded RKV, sits in the heart of Reykjavík, Iceland, distinct from the larger Keflavík International Airport that handles most international arrivals. RKV serves domestic routes to towns across Iceland, including Akureyri, Egilsstaðir, and the Westman Islands, as well as general aviation, medical flights, and flight training. Its central location makes it a convenient hub for Icelanders traveling between regions, though its proximity to downtown Reykjavík has made it a subject of ongoing debate about potential relocation to free up land for city development. RKV remains a vital piece of Iceland's domestic transport network, particularly given the country's rugged terrain that can make road travel slow or seasonally difficult.
