Fly Private to Egilsstaðir – Gateway to Iceland’s Untouched East
Egilsstaðir Airport (EGS / BIEG) offers access to a very different side of Iceland—one defined by space, silence, and distance from the usual travel routes. Located in the east of the country, it serves as the primary aviation point for a region known for its landscapes, wilderness, and low visitor density.
Arriving by private jet to Egilsstaðir allows you to reach this part of Iceland directly, without relying on long ground transfers from Reykjavík or connecting flights.
Egilsstaðir Airport Overview
Set within a wide valley near Lake Lagarfljót, Egilsstaðir Airport operates as the main airport for eastern Iceland. While modest in scale, it plays a critical role in connecting remote communities and supporting access to one of the least populated regions in Europe.
