Introduction Landsnet hf is going to construct a new 220kV Power line to meet the growing production and consumption of energy in Iceland. A part of the new power line is sketched to be placed in the vicinity of Akureyri airport. According to ICAO, any change in the environment near an airport, which penetrates the Obstacle Limitation Surfaces, may have an impact on the safe operation of air traffic. ICAO therefore recommends that the change has to be safety assessed. Integra A/S was asked, as an independent consultant, to perform an initial safety assessment on behalf of Isavia. An initial safety assessment of this new 220kV power line’s impact on air traffic was performed on 22 November 2012 in Akureyri. This report documents the results of the Initial Safety Assessment and provides Integra’s recommendations for how to mitigate the design of the power line to an acceptable or at least a tolerable level of safety. 1.1 Background Documentation provided for the Initial SA The following documents were used as background information for the Initial Safety Assessment: Landsnet’s description of the 220kV line in Eyjafjördur, North Iceland, 10/10/12 Rekstrarhandbók, Kerfisverklag, KV100 21 Áhættumat (attached as Appendix 1) Rekstrarhandbók Vinnuleiðbeiningar, VL100 01 Leiðbeiningar við gerð áhættumats AIP Iceland, BIAR, 21/10/11 ICAO Annex 14, Volume 1 Obstacle Restrictions and Removal Isavia’s considerations regarding electromagnetic and structure protection requirements for the 220kV power line in Eyjafjördur, Prepared by Isavia´s AIS and CNS systems for Integra, November 2012 Radio, navigation and landing aids, Memo, Isavia Changes in OCA based on Red or Blue tracks, Snæbjörn Guðbjörnsson, Checked 13.08.2012 Exact location of the line crossing Eyjafjörður - Sensitivity analysis, Memo, Efla, 8/11/12 Aviation obstruction marking of the line crossing Eyjafjörður valley, Memo, Efla, 8/11/12 Electric and magnetic field from the existing 132 kV KR1 OHL at the crossing of the line and the flight path to Akureyri Airport, Memo, Efla, 23/10/12 Prediction of Radio Interference from 220 kV line, Memo, Efla,

    // 2021 SEASON // WE’LL TAKE YOU ON YOUR NEXT SKIING ADVENTURE We were raised on the ski slopes of Iceland and after we finished our careers in alpine racing which took us both to the World Cup and The Winter Olympics we turned our passion to ski guiding and backcountry skiing. We were lucky enough to have literally in our backyard a vast and amazing terrain with thousands of slopes waiting for a first decent. So we put together a powerful team of ski guides and made our base in the beautiful Siglufjörður in the North of Iceland. Tröllaskagi (the Troll peninsula) our main skiing area has countless peaks and the rare possibilty to ski from a summit directly down to the ocean. We can take you to slopes that fit every type of skiing, from the steep and gnarly to the wide and gentle. We’re truly proud to welcome you to explore our beautiful country and go on a unique skiing adventure with the Vikings. Björgvin Björgvinsson Jóhann H. Hafstein Björgvin Björgvinsson Jóhann H.

  • Low Carbon Access Strategies for Inverness and Kirkwall Airports
    Low Carbon Surface Access Strategies Inverness and Kirkwall Airports PREPARED FOR: HITRANS HIAL Urban Foresight® is a multidisciplinary innovation practice that is dedicated to advancing the next generation of technologies, services and policy frameworks for cities. We work with ambitious organisations around the world on projects that improve lives, protect the environment and boost local economies. Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership (HITRANS) is the statutory regional transport partnership covering Eilean Siar (Western Isles), Orkney, Highland, Moray and most of the Argyll and Bute area. HITRANS work with Councils, the Scottish overnment, Transport Scotland, HIE, transport operators and other stakeholders to improve transport services and infrastructure in the north of Scotland and on routes to the Highlands and Islands. Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) is the company that owns and operates 11 airports in the Scottish Highlands, the Northern Isles and the Western Isles. These airports include Inverness and Kirkwall. The Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA) Programme , co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), forms a cooperation between 9 programme partner countries: the Member States of Finland, Ireland, Sweden and the UK (Scotland and Northern Ireland) in cooperation with the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland and Norway. Version: 2.0 Project ref: 1815 Executive Summary This study has been prepared for Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership (HITRANS) and Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL), in support of the Smart Peripheral and Remote Airports (SPARA) project. This study has considered best practice in decarbonising surface access to and from remote and peripheral airports to inform the development of low carbon access strategies and subsequent delivery of priority programmes at Inverness airport and Kirkwall airport.

  • Message from the Ceo
    MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Iceland is an island nation that relies heavily on flight transportation and trading with other nations. We wish to welcome our guests while still being able to enjoy the excitement of being able to travel to exotic places, experience new cultures and exchange knowledge and goods with other nations. These lead to progress, and we thereby create economic growth for the national economy. We here at Isavia also understand that the growth must be sustainable and that we must work in harmony with our community. It is a matter of some satisfaction that the international flight sector as a whole is working together to reduce carbon emissions. We are also aware that we must play our part and that co- operation is the key to success. We have set ourselves a course and action plans which we will work toward with every effort in co-operation with our business partners. We will e.g. work with neighbouring local authorities at Keflavík Airport toward a future vision of the area, taking into account the UN Global Goals. This is not least because Keflavík Airport is the largest workplace on the Reykjanes peninsula, and the growing scope of the airport has, therefore, a considerable impact on the municipalities around it. 2018 was another busy year for us. Passenger movements through Isavia airports totalled just under 10.6 million in 2018, an increase of just under 11% from 2017. The number of international passengers using Icelandic scheduled-flight airports increased from just under 8.8 million to just over 9.8 million, i.e.
