Ísafjörður Airport


Ísafjörður Airport (IATA: IFJ, ICAO: BIIS) is an airport serving Ísafjörður, a town in the Westfjords (Icelandic:Vestfirðir) region in northwestern Iceland. Located in a fjord the approach to the airports runway requires airplanes to fly close to the surrounding terrain making it unique and more challenging than most airports. Approaches can't be straight in either direction, and when landing in Northeastern direction a full 180 degree turn has to be made before touchdown.
