About Siglufjörður Airport

Overview

Siglufjörður Airport serves the northern Icelandic coastal town of Siglufjörður, located in a remote mountainous region. Positioned at 10 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the northeastern region of Iceland.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences typical North Atlantic maritime weather patterns with significant seasonal variations. Given its high latitude location at 66.137847°N, pilots should anticipate challenging winter conditions with potential low visibility and dynamic wind patterns.

Notable Features

Siglufjörður Airport features a single bituminous runway (07/25) measuring 3,556 feet in length, situated in a geographically complex mountainous coastal terrain. The surrounding landscape presents potential orographic wind and turbulence considerations for approaching and departing aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25 provides landing options dependent on prevailing wind conditions, with the relatively modest runway length requiring careful performance planning. Pilots should exercise standard high-latitude approach protocols, accounting for potential rapid weather shifts and terrain-influenced wind dynamics.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
