Ísafjörður Airport (IATA: IFJ, ICAO: BIIS) is an airport serving Ísafjörður, a town in the Westfjords (Icelandic: Vestfirðir) region in northwestern Iceland.

Contents

Located in a fjord, the approach to the runway requires aircraft to fly close to the surrounding terrain, making it unique and more challenging than at most airports. Approaches cannot be straight-in for either direction, and when landing to the northeast, a full 180 degree turn must be made before touchdown.
