Strategy

We have the important role of handling the operation and development of infrastructure that lays the foundation for Iceland’s air transport, connections with the outside world and flights between continents. 
Keflavik Airport is the largest gateway into Iceland. It is one of the most important single infrastructures of the tourism industry and plays an important role in creating a good quality of life and prosperity in Iceland. 
To meet that responsibility, we have a united team and strong employees, who work together and with others in a constructive way. The company’s strategy represents ambition aimed at delivering a leading airport that will grow sustainably and support the nation’s prosperity.
