Selfoss Airport is a small private grass airfield serving the town of Selfoss in southern Iceland, on the banks of the Ölfusá river. It offers two crossing grass runways and is of interest to VFR pilots exploring the Suðurland region, though it has no published radio service or instrument approach.
Selfoss Airport is a privately owned airfield located next to the town of Selfoss, on the banks of the Ölfusá river in the Árborg municipality of southern Iceland. It is a modest, unlicensed-feeling general aviation strip rather than a commercial airport, with two grass runways crossing at right angles, making it a pleasant stop for VFR pilots touring the Suðurland lowlands south-east of Reykjavík.
The airfield sits in the Suðurland region of southern Iceland, immediately adjacent to the town of Selfoss on the Ölfusá river, within the Árborg municipality. No specific airspace classification or ATZ detail is given in available sources, and the field should be treated as an unattended private airstrip outside controlled airspace unless local Icelandic AIP charts indicate otherwise.
Selfoss Airport has two grass runways. One physical runway is aligned 05/23, each direction measuring 3425 ft. The other is aligned 14/32, each direction measuring 3215 ft. Both are grass surfaces, and there is no ILS at the field. Field elevation is 46 ft.
No communications frequencies are published for Selfoss Airport, and it appears to operate without an air-ground or ATC radio service. A non-directional beacon, ident SE, is located on the field, providing a basic navigation aid for pilots approaching the area, though there is no instrument approach procedure associated with the airfield.
The Ölfusá river, alongside which the airfield sits, together with the town of Selfoss itself, serve as the principal visual landmarks for locating and approaching the field from the air.
Selfoss Airport was established to serve the town of Selfoss and has remained a small, privately owned facility. Its most notable navigational feature historically has been the on-field non-directional beacon, identifier SE, used by pilots in the area before the widespread adoption of satellite navigation.
Selfoss Airport remains a privately owned grass airfield with two runways, serving general aviation traffic in and around the town of Selfoss. There is no published radio frequency or ATC presence, and pilots should be prepared for an unattended field with only basic navigational aids, namely the on-site NDB.
