Reykjavík Airport is the chiefly domestic airport serving city Reykjavík in Iceland. The airport lies within a five-minute walk of Reykjavík’s city centre. Possessing rather short runways, it normally only serves flights within Iceland and to Greenland and the Faroe Islands, as well small international charters, ferry flights over the Atlantic, and private flights. When weather conditions are not good enough in Keflavík Airport for landings, aircraft like the Boeing 757-200 and smaller divert to Reykjavik Airport. However, most international flights arrive at and depart from Keflavík International Airport, 50 kilometers out of town, which can handle practically all aircraft. The world’s biggest aircraft, Antonov Mriya, Lockheed Galaxy, Airbus A380 and the Antonov Ruslan have all used Keflavik Airport without incident. Reykjavík Airport is the main hub of Air Iceland and Eagle Air. The main terminal handles both international and domestic traffic for Air Iceland; a smaller terminal serves domestic and international business flights for Eagle Air. After landing you have the possibility to rent a car at Reykjavik airport for you personal use. Both guarded short term and long term parking is available. There are two terminals at Reykjavík Airport. Renovation of the airport started in 2000 and lasted 2 years. The location of the airport has long been a matter of debates and disputes among the citizens of Reykjavik, mainly because of the danger it represents and the possibility of consolidating the habitation of the town. Many have suggested moving the domestic operations to Keflavik, building a new airport in the Hvassahraun Area or on landfills in the Skerjafiord Bay, which would become a domestic and an international airport. At least nothing is going to happen until 2016 and no one knows yet, what is going to happen after that.
