## Description

Once linked to Reykjavík by Eagle Air, Húsavík Airport (IATA: HZK, ICAO: BIHU) lost its scheduled service after the 2018 Vaðlaheiði tunnel made nearby Akureyri (AEY) easier to reach by road. As of 2025 the field handles only charter, air-ambulance and general-aviation traffic, with no air-cargo facilities. Shippers in this part of northern Iceland route freight through Akureyri (AEY) and, for international volumes, through the national hub at Keflavík (KEF). The town is best known as Iceland's whale-watching capital and a gateway to the Myvatn volcanic region.
