Keflavik is often referred to as Rekjavik Airport although it's not close to the capital.That so called domestic airport isn't really domestic as it does some international flights to Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Your correct! Though I believe the Faroese operations and most the Greenland operations bar 1 have moved to Keflavik since the air Iceland connect/icelandair merge. I know the authorities including the airport management refer to it as Reykjavik city airport & I suppose in some ways that is a better distinction than domestic.
Not Icelandic, but my Icelandic friends refer to it as just Reykjavik airport 😂 Given there are international destinations from RKV, referring to it as “domestic” always feel wrong.
Unfortunately I believe Eagle Air have recently gone out of business. They disposed of the Dornier 328 and their dwindling Jetstream fleet was down to one airworthy frame. I believe the Beech King Air you flew on is owned by another Icelandic airline who have an affiliation.
Another excellent video. Well done, Dom! Iceland and it`s landscapes and nature are indeed stunning and inspirational. And seeing this landscape also from such a unique perspective is just fantastic! I loved to see the great experience you had with Eagle Air. I`m very much tempted now getting on such a flight with them myself ☺!
Nice video, Iceland's such an incredible country! I wonder if I'm one of very few people to have flown into Reykjavik's City airport on a 757 🤔. I had done a day trip up to Akureyri on a Flugfelag Islands Fokker 50 early in the day, but for some reason that I can't recall, they cancelled a number of later flights between the two cities. Because that meant there were quite a few people stranded who were trying to get back to Reykjavik, they sent a 757 to pick us all up! I recall it was an Icelandair aircraft painted in an all white livery. I also remember there was a LOT of heavy braking on landing. 😄
I’d love to see a Dom’s coffee global ranking! Review all your coffees on your trips and publish a spreadsheet or give them a rating out of 10! I used to do this but with spring rolls and called it ‘global rolls’ lol
Really enjoying these unique and different videos of new aircraft types and airlines - and new places you're exploring. Keep up the great work Dom!
Stunning scenery and another great video. Thanks Dom 😊
Stunning scenery Dom, with the ice capped mountains as a back drop. Excellent, as always.
Many thanks! Glad you liked it, i just simply love Iceland as a place, always keep finding myself going back.
Great video
BIRK/RKV = Reykjavik Airport and BIKF/KEF = Keflavik Airport. Simple! That looked a great flight, just a shame it wasn't a bit longer!
Looking forward to it!
Edit: another great video!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Wow, that's such a cool aircraft to fly on. Love the executive style interior and views into the cockpit.
Thanks a lot! it really is! Always love seeing the landing from the cockpit.

They have unfortunately moved all the international flights to Kef.

Yet again another amazing video! In my opinion it is definitely worth the price to fly in a different aircraft, if I had the chance I'd do the same 😂

Seems like a nice flight, but most Icelanders can’t afford to fly domestically. They prefer to drive.

Would have been so much more enjoyable if take off, climb out, approach and landing hadn’t been speeded up. Frustrating.
This was part 2 of the video….I think the scenes you’re describing were in part 1 of the video. Hope this helps 😊
