If you are looking for a ferry pilot or safety pilot for an Atlantic ferry flight, please contact me to discuss your mission. I will be glad to discuss the trip in more detail and provide references of previous Atlantic ferry flight customers.
Keflavik is the largest airport in Iceland. For many years Keflavik was operated as a joint US military / civilian airport, but now it is strictly civilian. BIKF has 2 long runways, multiple ILS approaches and is available 24 hours. There is a fair amount of regular airline traffic.
Keflavik airport has a good handling agent where you can get weather and flight planning, as well as a ride to a nice hotel in town. Jet fuel and Avgas 100LL are available at Keflavik.
Taking off from Keflavik airport, Iceland (BIKF)
Typical Atlantic ferry flight routes through Keflavik:
- CYFB - BGSF - BIKF - EGPC - the far northern Atlantic ferry flight route, the longest leg is 653 nm from BIKF to EGPC.
- CYYR - BGBW - BIKF - EGPC - the more direct Atlantic ferry flight route via Goose Bay to Narsarsuaq and Keflavik.
- CYYR - BIKF - EGPK - Goose to Prestwick with a stop in Keflavik.
Landing at Keflavik is a bit expensive, so in single engine airplanes I usually prefer Reykjavic (BIRK) or Egilsstadir (BIEG) for fuel stops in Iceland. However, Keflavik is 24 hours, Reykjavic is not.
