Private Jet Flights to and from Iceland

Private Jet Charter to Iceland


The Nordic island nation of Iceland is renowned for its elemental power—dramatic volcanic peaks, vast lava fields, steaming geysers, and mineral-rich hot springs form a landscape that’s unlike anywhere else on earth. With a population of just 368,792—most of whom reside in the capital Reykjavik—you’ll find no shortage of space to reconnect with nature or unwind in complete tranquillity. For those interested in the island’s heritage, Iceland’s Viking roots run deep, with museums, artefacts, and monuments offering a compelling insight into its ancient history.

Flying to Iceland by Private Jet ensures your journey to Iceland is as seamless as it is comfortable. Iceland may be remote, but accessing it is simple via one of three key international airports, all well-equipped for private aviation.

Airports for Private Jet Arrivals


Reykjavik Airport (RKV) is the most popular entry point and offers a dedicated private jet terminal operating throughout the year. Situated close to the capital, it’s ideal for those looking to base themselves in or around Reykjavik.
Keflavik International Airport (KEF), located on the southern peninsula, is the island’s largest airport and well-suited for those travelling further afield or connecting with scheduled international services. The private aviation facilities here are well-established, with a professional team experienced in handling elite clientele.
Further north, Akureyri International Airport (AEY) is just minutes from the town centre and serves as a strategic entry point for those exploring Iceland’s less-trodden northern regions.

Experience the Blue Lagoon

No visit to Iceland would be complete without a dip in the famous Blue Lagoon. This otherworldly geothermal spa features naturally heated seawater rich in minerals and silica, known for their therapeutic qualities. With both a high-end clinic and luxury spa facilities, it offers a unique wellness experience amid Iceland’s dramatic lava landscape.

Discover Viking Heritage

Viking history is deeply embedded in Iceland’s identity, and nowhere is that more evident than at Viking World. Highlights include a full-sized replica of a 9th-century Viking ship—the Icelander—which famously sailed to North America in the year 2000. Nearby, you’ll find the Settlement Zoo and Viking playground, ideal for families or those curious about Norse mythology and daily life in the Viking era.

See the Northern Lights

The Aurora Borealis is a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle, and Iceland offers some of the best conditions in the world to witness it. Plan your visit carefully and you may even see the lights from Reykjavik itself. Northern Iceland, especially around Akureyri, often provides the clearest skies and least light pollution for a mesmerising view.

Savour Icelandic Cuisine

Icelandic food is a reflection of the island’s history and geography. Fish, lamb, potatoes, and dairy dominate traditional dishes, shaped by centuries of isolation and seafaring heritage. In Reykjavik, however, the culinary scene has evolved dramatically. High-end dining establishments now embrace global influences, with a strong emphasis on local, seasonal ingredients and modern technique. The result is a culinary offering that’s both sophisticated and unmistakably Icelandic.

Seasonal Expectations and Weather Considerations

When planning a private jet charter to Iceland, it’s crucial to consider the season. Summer, from late May through August, offers long daylight hours—up to 24 hours a day during peak season in the north—thanks to the Midnight Sun. This is ideal for sightseeing, hiking, and maximising every moment of your itinerary. Conditions are mild, with average highs around 10–15°C, but layers are still recommended as weather can change quickly.

Winter, from November through March, is the best time to see the Northern Lights, with long nights and snow-covered landscapes that create a stark and magical backdrop. While temperatures can drop below freezing, the cold is often dry and manageable with appropriate attire. This season also opens up opportunities for glacier hiking, ice caving, and snowmobiling—adventures best experienced with expert local guides.

Spring and autumn are shoulder seasons, offering a balance of fewer tourists, lower hotel occupancy, and shifting weather patterns. These months can be unpredictable but are often favoured by those looking for a quieter, more introspective experience of the island.

Top Tips for Your Iceland Itinerary

  • Hire a Car: Iceland’s real magic lies off the main roads. Hiring a vehicle allows you to discover its hidden corners—from black sand beaches to secluded hot springs.

  • Pre-book Activities: Many of Iceland’s most sought-after experiences require advance booking, especially during peak periods. Plan ahead to avoid disappointment.

  • Prepare for Extreme Light Conditions: Bring eye masks for summer and torches for winter. Iceland’s extremes of daylight and darkness can be disorienting without preparation.
