New counting method

As from April 2014, transfer passengers at Keflavik Airport are counted twice instead of once.  This is in line with the counting methods that are practiced by many other airports in Europe that are a part of The Airports Council International (ACI). The ACI definition of Transfer Passengers is as follows: Transfer Passengers arriving and departing on a different aircraft, or on the same aircraft bearing different flight numbers. They are counted TWICE: upon arrival and departure.

Airport operator, Isavia, prepares to modify terminal facilities to meet the challenge with increased capacity and sustained passenger comfort intended to Keflavik abreast with the top scoring European airports in service surveys.
