Stykkishólmur Airport is a small public airfield serving the town of Stykkishólmur on the Snæfellsnes peninsula in western Iceland. It has a single asphalt runway and no scheduled flights, making it a quiet destination for VFR pilots exploring the Vesturland region.
Stykkishólmur Airport is a small public-use aerodrome serving the fishing town of Stykkishólmur on Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula. It has no scheduled airline services today, and its single lit runway makes it a straightforward VFR destination for pilots touring the dramatic coastal scenery of western Iceland.
The airport lies at Stykkishólmur in the Vesturland (Western Region) of Iceland, at coordinates 65.0586N, 22.7656W. The road distance to Reykjavik is about 171 kilometres, and the opening of the Hvalfjörður Tunnel has reduced reliance on air links between the two.
The airport has one physical runway, 07/25, oriented east-west. It is 3656 feet long with a hard (asphalt) surface and is lit. There is no ILS approach available.
No communications frequencies are published for Stykkishólmur Airport, and there is no instrument landing system. Pilots should expect the field to be unattended and plan accordingly, using standard self-announce procedures where appropriate.
Stykkishólmur Airport once supported scheduled flights to Reykjavik during parts of the twentieth century. Improved road infrastructure, particularly the construction of the Hvalfjörður Tunnel, shortened the overland journey to the capital and reduced demand for air services, and the airport now sees no scheduled flights.
There are no scheduled flights operating from Stykkishólmur Airport today; it functions as an unscheduled general aviation field serving the local area.
