Norðfjörður Airport (BINF) is a small public aerodrome serving the fishing town of Neskaupstaður on the Norðfjörður fjord in eastern Iceland. With a single hard-surfaced runway and no instrument approach, it is a straightforward but scenically dramatic VFR destination tucked between steep fjord-side terrain.
Norðfjörður Airport lies at Neskaupstaður, a fishing town on the Norðfjörður fjord in the Austurland region of eastern Iceland. It is a small, unscheduled aerodrome rather than a hub for airline traffic, and its combination of fjord walls and a short runway at sea level makes it a notable stop for pilots interested in Iceland's more remote regional airfields.
The airfield sits at the head of the Norðfjörður fjord on Iceland's east coast, within the Austurland region, with the town of Neskaupstaður immediately adjacent. The surrounding terrain rises steeply on both sides of the fjord, and the field's low elevation of 3 feet places it right at the water's edge.
Norðfjörður has a single physical runway, 08/26, with a hard surface and a length of 3,647 feet. There is no ILS or other instrument approach published for the field.
No air-ground or ATC communications frequency is published for Norðfjörður Airport, indicating it operates without a permanently staffed radio service. A non-directional beacon, the Nordfjordur NDB (ident: NF), is located on the airfield and can be used as a navigational aid for locating the field.
The Norðfjörður fjord itself is the principal visual feature for locating the airport, with the town of Neskaupstaður and the airfield sited near the head of the fjord, flanked by steep mountainous terrain on both sides.
Norðfjörður Airport is a public aerodrome that has long served the fishing town of Neskaupstaður, situated on the fjord of the same name in eastern Iceland. It is one of a number of small unscheduled airfields dotted around Iceland's coastline that provide air links to isolated fjord communities.
Norðfjörður continues to operate as a small, unscheduled airfield without regular airline service, primarily supporting light aviation and occasional flights connected to Neskaupstaður.
