Keflavík Airport

Refurbishment of the Kilo taxiway

Refurbishment work on Kilo, one of the main taxiways in Keflavík Airport's runway and taxiway system, which began this summer, has now been completed.

This is one part of the upgrades to the runway and taxiway system, which is itself a component of the major construction projects at the airport announced a few months ago and launched following the State's capital injection into Isavia.

The existing taxiway was milled, repaired, and resurfaced with the necessary preparatory work. In addition, the lighting system on the taxiway was renewed. The material that was milled up will be used later in other projects at the airport. This is part of the circular economy.

"The project has progressed better than expected. We started the work in the spring, and it went well despite the fact that weather conditions were not always in our favour. The renewal of Kilo was an important project, and it will improve the service at the airport." - Ingunn Loftsdóttir, Head of Runways and Roads at Isavia.
