Isavia-operated domestic airport on Heimaey serving the Westman Islands. Scheduled service is seasonal winter only and is provided under short-term subsidised contracts with Vegagerdin (Iceland Road and Coastal Administration). Eagle Air/Flugfelagid Ernir flew the Reykjavik–Vestmannaeyjar route under intermittent subsidies until it lost its AOC and went bankrupt in 2024; Myflug Air then held the Oct 2024 winter contract, relinquished its scheduled routes in April 2025, and Norlandair acquired them. Norlandair operated the 2025/26 winter season (approx. 1 Dec 2025 to late Feb 2026, five weekly Beech 200 King Air flights). Outside the subsidised winter season the airport handles charter, medical and GA traffic.
