Hire a Private Jet to or from Akureyri

The airport is just 3 km from Akureyri town centre — about a 5-minute drive or ~30 minutes on foot. Hotel transfers typically take 10-15 minutes, depending on location. If your destination is further north (Lake Mývatn, Goðafoss, etc.), then longer transfers by road or private transport will be arranged. LunaJets will recommend the best transfer mode for comfort and speed.

Yes. Akureyri operates daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.; during those hours fuel, handling and customs/immigration services are normally available. Flights outside those hours (overnight or very early/late) may be possible, especially for charters, but require prior coordination.

Entry rules for Akureyri follow Iceland’s Schengen entry policy. Citizens of the EU, EEA, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and several other countries may enter Iceland visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Nationals of countries outside these groups must obtain a Schengen visa in advance. Passports should be valid for at least three months beyond the intended departure date. LunaJets will confirm the requirements for your nationality and ensure all documents are in order before your flight.

Pets cannot be cleared for entry directly at Akureyri, as only Keflavík International Airport is approved for animal arrivals into Iceland. Regardless of the country of origin, all pets must obtain an import permit from the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST) and are subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine in an approved facility. Requirements include microchipping, rabies vaccination, and veterinary health certification.

Akureyri experiences peaks during the summer tourism season and in winter for Northern Lights trips. Booking several weeks ahead is recommended to secure your preferred aircraft and slot. That said, LunaJets regularly arranges flights to Akureyri at short notice, even during busy travel periods.
