Improved arrivals area

Significant renovations are underway in the arrivals area of ​​Keflavík Airport. Last week, construction began on a new and improved car rental counter in the terminal building, and shortly before that, construction had begun on the so-called customs corridor. Construction has also recently been completed on a new convenience store that opened in the arrivals hall of the airport before Christmas, and in parallel, work is underway to expand the terminal's lobby on the arrivals side. All of this is being done with the aim of improving the flow and increasing the comfort of airport guests as well as those working at the airport.

The area in question is one of the oldest unchanged areas in the terminal. It has changed little in decades, but the airport's ever-expanding activities now call for changes. Emphasis is placed on ensuring that the construction has as little impact on guests and airport operations as possible, although temporary disruption is to some extent inevitable.

While construction is underway to improve the facilities for car rental companies, their counters will be moved to temporary facilities just outside the terminal. Construction is expected to be completed in the spring when the new counters will be put into use. At the same time, the number of car rental companies with facilities inside the terminal will increase from three to four.

Other projects are also scheduled for completion in the spring.
