Akureyri Airport in northern Iceland is being expanded to become the country's next international airport.

”More consistent tourist flows will give the tourism industry in northern Iceland the opportunity to develop more sustainably year-round,” says Gudrun Thora Gunnarsdottir, head of the Icelandic Tourism Research Institute.”
