Airport Name and ICAO/IATA Code
Reykjavík–Keflavík Airport (ICAO: BIKF / IATA: KEF)
Location (City, Country)
Reykjavík / Keflavík, Iceland
Airport Type & Size
KEF is Iceland’s main international airport, handling both passenger and cargo traffic. It features two runways, but primarily operates with Runway 01/19, which is:
- 3,054 meters / 10,020 feet long
- Capable of handling S, M, L, and X aircraft
The second runway is rarely used and could be treated like PRG’s inactive runway in-game for visual purposes only.
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
Keflavík is strategically located between North America and Europe, making it a perfect transatlantic bridge.
Its medium size (comparable to PRG) allows:
- Balanced gameplay with short-, medium-, and long-haul routes
- A mix of small regional aircraft and large widebody jets
- Beautiful scenery with unique coastlines and volcanic terrain
- Opportunity to add atmospheric elements like northern lights (Aurora Borealis) for immersion
KEF would stand out as a visually distinctive and gameplay-rich destination.
