🏢 Terminal Information
Egilsstaðir Airport (BIEG) serves as Iceland's primary aviation gateway to the dramatic eastern region, positioned approximately 2 kilometers from the town of Egilsstaðir with a completely rebuilt and expanded terminal facility that underwent major development from 1987-1999, including a new arrivals hall opened in 2007 and recent upgrades featuring improved runway lighting and digital flight information systems. The modern terminal provides a cozy waiting area, cafe serving light snacks and beverages, free Wi-Fi, and efficient processing with check-in opening 45 minutes before domestic departures, serving as the main hub connecting eastern Iceland's spectacular fjord communities to Reykjavík and beyond.
Designated as an international airport and official port of entry by the Icelandic government, the facility currently operates exclusively domestic Icelandair services to the capital while maintaining capabilities for future international operations, with the terminal's compact design enabling quick check-ins and shorter security lines that efficiently serve the largest town in Eastern Iceland. Comprehensive ground transportation includes multiple car rental agencies (Höldur/Europcar, Hertz, Avis, Budget) and Strætó public bus routes connecting passengers to Egilsstaðir town center and the broader eastern region's dramatic landscape.
Operational services provide essential connectivity for residents and tourists accessing the spectacular Eastfjords including Seyðisfjörður, Neskaupstaður, Reyðarfjörður, Stöðvarfjörður, Eskifjörður, and Fáskúrðsfjörður, all within an hour's drive through Iceland's most remote and pristine wilderness areas. The airport represents a crucial lifeline for eastern Iceland's isolated communities while serving as the primary access point for international visitors exploring this region's untamed natural beauty, including towering waterfalls, dramatic coastlines, and the unique geological formations that make Iceland's eastern peninsula one of Europe's last great wilderness frontiers.
