Last year, the eastern wing of Keflavik Airport was opened – an investment of over 1.6 billion kroner. Now it is time to build a central connecting building, which costs 1.15 billion kroner, writes the Icelandic media Iceland Review.
According to the media, the new central hub at the airport will measure almost 27,000 square meters, and while the construction is underway, which is expected to be completed in 2031, a temporary corridor will be established so that passengers have access to the two terminal buildings.
- The expansion follows the opening of the east wing in February last year, which increased terminal space by 30 percent at a cost of 30 billion ISK (1.6 billion DKK). A separate expansion of the south building, known as Parking Ten, at a cost of 3.6 billion ISK (190 million DKK), is expected to open next month, the Icelandic online media writes.
In January this year alone, the airport served 443,492 passengers.
