Significant improvements have been made to access and facilities for regional buses serving Keflavík Airport, making it easier for passengers and airport staff to access the terminal.
New bus stops have been established at two locations, signage has been improved, and the walkway from the terminal to the buses for arriving passengers is now covered. Following these changes, there will be three bus stops at the terminal, compared to just one today.
The changes affect route 55, which operates between BSÍ and/or Fjörður and Keflavík Airport, and route 89, which operates between Reykjanesbær/Suðurnesjabær and Keflavík Airport. The new arrangements will take effect on Thursday, 1 October.
Route 55 – Main changes
- New bus stop for departing passengers (KEF Departures). A new bus stop will be introduced on the departure side of the terminal for passengers travelling to the airport. Route 55 will now drive directly to the terminal, dropping off passengers at the same location as airport shuttle buses. Passengers will not be able to board buses at this stop.
- New bus stop for arriving passengers (KEF Arrivals). A new bus stop will be introduced on the arrivals side of the terminal in a designated area. The walkway from the terminal to the bus stop is now covered, providing shelter from the weather for arriving passengers.
- Improved signage. All signage inside the terminal and outside, including at bus stops and along walkways, have been improved and replaced.
- Easier bicycle transport. Bicycles can be brought on board route 55 on selected departures (five out of twelve daily departures).
- Payment options. Passengers can pay with either cash or contactless payment cards.
- Special fares. Bus passes for regional buses are available for purchase.
Apart from these changes, route 55 will operate as usual, with no changes to departure times or the timetable along the route.
Kjóavellir – New name for route 89 bus stop
The route and timetable for route 89, which operates between Reykjanesbær, Suðurnesjabær and Keflavík Airport, will remain unchanged.
The bus stop used by route 89 will be renamed Kjóavellir (previously called KEF-Airport). The bus stop will remain in the same location, but improvements to the facilities are planned.
