Sauðárkrókur Airport (BIKR) is a small public airfield serving the village of Sauðárkrókur on Skagafjörður bay in northern Iceland, operated by Isavia. Once host to scheduled flights to Reykjavík, it now sees little or no scheduled airline traffic, making it a quiet destination for general aviation and VFR flying in the north of the country.
Sauðárkrókur Airport is a small public aerodrome serving the fishing village of Sauðárkrókur on the Skagafjörður bay in northern Iceland. It is operated by Isavia, the state airport and air navigation operator, and once handled scheduled airline services, though these have since ceased. For a sim pilot, it offers a straightforward single-runway field set in dramatic Icelandic coastal and fjord scenery, with no ATC service to complicate an approach.
The airfield lies on the shore of Skagafjörður bay in the Norðurland Vestra (Northwestern) region of Iceland, close to the village of Sauðárkrókur itself. No specific controlled airspace class or ATZ detail is given in available sources, so pilots should expect the field to sit within the wider uncontrolled airspace typical of rural Icelandic aerodromes.
The airfield has a single physical runway, 18/36, 6,154 feet long with a hard (asphalt) surface, and equipped with lighting. There is no ILS.
No communications frequencies are published for Sauðárkrókur Airport, and no callsign or ATC/AFIS service is listed. The Hegranes non-directional beacon (ident HE) lies 1.8 nautical miles northeast of the airport and can be used as a navigation reference when approaching from that side.
No published circuit heights, joining procedures or noise abatement restrictions are available for this airfield in the sources reviewed.
No specific visual reporting points are documented, but the airfield's position on the Skagafjörður coastline next to Sauðárkrókur village, with the Hegranes NDB 1.8 nautical miles to the northeast, provides a useful visual and navigational anchor for locating the field.
Sauðárkrókur Airport, also known as Alexandersflugvöllur, has served as the airfield for the village of Sauðárkrókur on Skagafjörður bay. It supported scheduled domestic flights to Reykjavík operated by Eagle Air, but these ended in May 2018, after which passenger numbers and movements fell sharply, with only a handful of movements recorded in subsequent years.
Since Eagle Air withdrew its Reykjavík service in May 2018, there have been no more scheduled flights from Sauðárkrókur, and recorded annual movements have remained very low. The airfield continues to appear in Icelandic domestic flight information listings alongside other unscheduled and minor aerodromes, suggesting it remains available for general aviation use, though current facilities, fuel availability and any PPR requirement are not detailed in available sources.
