Keflavík Airport warns of delays due to 'minimum manning' at border control

Travelers at Keflavík Airport in Iceland were warned of potential disruptions on May 29, 2026, due to "minimum manning" at border control. An Icelandair passenger shared a notification received, stating that reduced staffing levels at border checks could lead to longer queues than usual.

The alert advised passengers to arrive promptly for border control after check-in to avoid extended waits. The notification was sent to passengers traveling on that day, highlighting the possibility of significant delays.

Morgunblaðið contacted both the Keflavík Airport police and Isavia, the airport operator, for more information regarding the staffing situation and potential impact on passenger flow. However, neither entity was able to provide specific details about the border control manning or the overall situation at the airport.

The lack of further information from official sources leaves passengers uncertain about the extent of the potential delays and the reasons behind the reduced staffing.
