Bakki Airport is a small, remote airfield on the south coast of Iceland, historically used for short-haul flights connecting the mainland with the Westman Islands. It is operated by Isavia and sits at low elevation on flat coastal terrain, offering a single hard-surfaced runway for light aircraft.

Overview

Bakki Airport (ICAO: BIBA) is a small public airfield on the southern coast of Iceland, operated by Isavia. It has historically served as a short-haul link between the mainland and the Westman Islands (Vestmannaeyjar), making it a point of interest for pilots flying that coastal route. Traffic has been very light in recent years, giving it the character of a quiet, little-used strip rather than an active regional hub.

Airspace & Location

The airfield lies on the southern coast of Iceland, in the Sudurland region, near the settlement of Bakki. No specific controlled airspace, ATZ classification or nearby controlled fields are described in the available sources.

Runways

Bakki has a single physical runway, 12/30, with a hard surface and a length of 3236 feet. No lighting or instrument landing system is available.

Radio & Navigation

No communications frequencies are published for Bakki Airport, and no navaids or instrument approaches are noted in the available sources.

Joining & Circuit Procedures

No published joining or circuit procedures, circuit heights, or noise abatement restrictions are available for Bakki Airport.

Visual Reference Points

No specific visual reference points are documented for Bakki Airport in the available sources; pilots would need to rely on the coastal terrain near the settlement of Bakki for visual orientation.

History

Bakki Airport was built to serve short-haul flights between the Icelandic mainland and the Westman Islands. Passenger and movement statistics show it saw meaningful use through the mid-2000s, with over 25,000 passengers and around 10,000 movements annually in the early 2000s, before traffic declined sharply. By the late 2010s activity had fallen to a handful of movements a year, and no passengers or movements were recorded in 2019, 2020 or 2021.

The Airfield Today

Recent statistics indicate that Bakki Airport has seen little to no scheduled or recorded traffic in the years immediately before 2021, suggesting it is now largely inactive or used only occasionally. No fuel availability, operating hours, or PPR requirements are documented in the available sources.
