Norlandair
Norlandair is a small regional passenger airline based in Akureyri (AEY) that primarily serves northern Iceland with scheduled short-haul flights and charter services. From a traveler’s perspective it operates like a local carrier: short routes on smaller aircraft, limited onboard amenities compared with major airlines, and operations that can be sensitive to seasonal demand and weather.
Where Norlandair Flies
Norlandair operates from its base at Akureyri International Airport (AEY) and focuses on short regional links serving smaller communities in northern Iceland, supplemented by on-demand charter services to meet local needs. Its network is oriented toward short-haul point-to-point connections rather than long-haul routes, and travelers frequently connect to broader international services via larger Icelandic airports.

Tips for Flying Norlandair
- Check baggage and weight limits before booking, as regional carriers often have stricter size/weight rules than larger airlines.
- Build extra time into travel plans-short regional flights in Iceland are frequently affected by weather and can be rebooked or delayed.
- Expect limited ground services at smaller northern airports; arrive early and carry any essentials with you.
- If you need onward connections beyond Norlandair’s network, confirm transfer procedures and whether baggage is checked through to your final destination.
