This airport has international flights to Akureyri and Reykjavik Domestic Airport operated by Norlandair.
(This also makes Reykjavik Domestic Airport international too)
DEW line
The US military originally built this airport in 1956 as part of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line to detect Soviet bombers attacking over the Arctic during the Cold War. It is now a civilian airport with STOL air service.

New 2200 m runway, but still not shown in the satellite image. I wonder when it will.
