Hornafjörður Airport or Hornafjordur Airport (IATA: HFN, ICAO: BIHN) is an airport serving Höfn, Iceland. The airport is 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the town. It is served by Eagle Air with regular flights to Reykjavík Airport.
The Hornafjordur non-directional beacon (Ident: HN) is located 1.24 nautical miles off the threshold of runway 36.[4][5]
The airport was opened on 22 September 1965, replacing a landing area on coastal spit south of the town at Melatangi, Suðurfjörður. The airport originally opened with a second 800m runway which ran east-west, later decommissioned. A larger terminal building was added in 1982.[6]
In the 2013 film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Hornafjörður Airport is depicted as Nuuk Airport, with an Air Greenland aircraft landing there.[7][8]
