Húsavík Airport (Icelandic: Húsavíkurflugvöllur [ˈhuːsaˌviːkʏrˌflʏɣˌvœtlʏr̥], regionally also [-ˌviːkʰʏr-]) (IATA: HZK, ICAO: BIHU) is an airport serving Húsavík, Iceland. The runway is 10.4 kilometres (6.5 mi) southwest of the town. There are scheduled seasonal flights during winter to Reykjavík Airport with Norlandair.
The opening of the Vaðlaheiðargöng tunnel in 2018 shortened the distance by 16 km to Akureyri (and Akureyri International Airport) to only 75km, around a one-hour drive. This led to scheduled services to Húsavik Airport being cut back and scheduled Eagle Air services to Reykjavik Airport ceased in April 2024.[5][6] In December 2024, the Icelandic government introduced a subsidised seasonal winter service to Húsavik Airport, running from December to March.[7]
The Gardur non-directional beacon (Ident: GA) (4.1 nautical miles) and the Husavik non-directional beacon (Ident: HS) (1.1 nautical miles) are located off the threshold of runway 03.[8][9]
