The opening of the Vaðlaheiðargöng tunnel in 2018 shortened the distance by 16 km to Akureyri (and Akureyri International Airport) to only 75km, around a one-hour drive. This led to scheduled services to Húsavik Airport being cut back and eventually scrapped.[5] As of 2024, the Icelandic government is in discussions to introduce a subsidised seasonal winter service to Húsavik Airport.[6]
The Gardur non-directional beacon (Ident: GA) (4.1 nautical miles) and the Husavik non-directional beacon (Ident: HS) (1.1 nautical miles) are located off the threshold of runway 03.[7][8]
As of 26 August 2024, there are no regular commercial airline flights to or from Húsavík airport.
