It has been 14 years, and nobody ever left a comment for this big airport since 2011. I am gonna leave one. Akureyri has a cool airport.

re: Spectacular approach!
Reply to @philippe: You havn't seen Isafjordur wich is a scheduled airport and the runway heading is straight in to a mountain and a narrow approach to, more spectacular! regards Jon

Spectacular approach!
The approach is an offset localizer with curved approach lights, down into a fjord. Interesting missed approach and departure procedure too. The scenery is unbelievably beautiful. Efficient service from the airport staff, reasonable Avgas price for Europe.
