flughöfnin

Flughöfnin is the Icelandic word for "the airport." When used without further specification, it commonly refers to Keflavík International Airport, which is the largest and busiest airport in Iceland. Located near the town of Keflavík, approximately 50 kilometers southwest of the capital city, Reykjavík, it serves as the primary gateway for international air travel to the country. The airport handles the vast majority of Iceland's international flights, connecting the island nation with destinations across Europe and North America. It is also a significant hub for cargo and domestic flights, although these operations are often associated with the smaller Reykjavík Airport. The facility at Keflavík has undergone several expansions and modernizations over the years to accommodate growing passenger numbers and enhance the travel experience. It features terminals for both international and domestic traffic, alongside various services including shops, restaurants, and car rental facilities. The airport's strategic location on the Reykjanes Peninsula, an area of considerable geothermal and geological interest, also makes it a notable landmark for visitors arriving in Iceland.
