The hub

Myvatn, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

Myvatn sits in the northeastern highlands of Iceland, approximately 100 km east of Akureyri, anchored around a shallow geothermal lake formed by a volcanic eruption roughly 2,300 years ago. The region draws a concentrated flow of high-net-worth expedition travelers, photographers, and aurora chasers who require direct access without the logistical overhead of commercial connections through Keflavik or Akureyri. The local economy is structured almost entirely around nature-based tourism at the top end of the market, with demand concentrated in two distinct seasons: the Northern Lights window from September through March, and the midnight sun period from May through August.

Reykjahlíð Airport (IATA: MVA, ICAO: BIRL) is a short-strip facility capable of handling turboprops and light jets. The runway is approximately 980 meters, suitable for aircraft such as the Pilatus PC-12, King Air 350, or Citation Mustang under favorable conditions. Larger midsize aircraft typically position into Akureyri (AEY), approximately 100 km to the west, where infrastructure is more robust, then transfer by road or helicopter to Myvatn. Customs and immigration are available by prior arrangement; advance coordination with Icelandic authorities is essential for international arrivals. There is no permanent FBO structure at Reykjahlíð — ground handling is managed through local operators coordinated in advance, with fuel availability requiring pre-notification.

For UHNWI clients targeting the full Myvatn circuit — Dimmuborgir lava fields, the Námafjall geothermal area, Grjótagjá cave, and the Hverir mud pools — direct access via MVA eliminates the three-to-four-hour surface transfer from Keflavik entirely. Husavik, the globally recognized whale-watching hub, is reachable in under 45 minutes by road. The operational model for most private charters to this region involves a positioning flight from Reykjavik Domestic or Akureyri Airport, with the Myvatn leg flown on a turboprop or light aircraft suited to the strip's characteristics.
