## Description

Egilsstaðir Airport (IATA: EGS, ICAO: BIEG) is located in Egilsstaðir, east Iceland, at approximately 23 metres — the main aviation hub of sparsely populated east Iceland and the most important air link for the vast eastern region featuring Lake Lagarfljót, the East Fjords, and Vatnajökull National Park. Eagle Air serves daily connections to Reykjavík (RKV). As an essential supply airport for east Iceland, EGS handles belly cargo for the regional population; for larger shipments, Keflavík Airport (IATA: KEF) is the nearest major option.
