Norðfjörður Airport (IATA: NOR, ICAO: BINF) is a small airstrip serving the village of Norðfjörður in Iceland's East Fjords.

The airport's scenic location offers dramatic mountain and water views, but weather can change quickly.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to check road.is and vedur.is before heading to the airport, and to keep luggage light since there are no baggage services. If you have time, the nearby Norðfjörður ski area and fjord hikes are worth a stop, but always prioritize weather windows for flying.
🚖 Getting There
By car, Norðfjörður is reached via Route 92 from Egilsstaðir and the Ring Road, with the airport just off the main access road. Taxis are available locally, but public bus service is limited, so renting a car or arranging a transfer in advance is recommended. Allow extra time in winter, as mountain roads and the Oddsskarð pass can be affected by snow and closures.
