Today, a so-called ORAT test was conducted on the apron area near the terminal's new east wing. The goal was to ensure that all processes and equipment were ready for the opening of the east wing to passengers.

The past year has been eventful at Keflavík Airport (KEF). The airport is in constant development and the focus has been on improving the quality and service of the airport with more space, more gangways, and a wider range of services.

Yuzu, La Trattoria and Zócalo have opened at Keflavík Airport in a new food court in the departure hall of the airport. The food court is part of the opening of the east wing, which involves a nearly 30% expansion of the airport.

The weather in Iceland can be unpredictable. In the forecourt of KEF Airport there are multiple pathways that lead to the terminal building and the plan is to build covered pathways to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers and others on their way to and from the terminal building.

Walking paths run along the airport's forecourt area, from the terminal building to various service areas, including car rental areas, parking lots and bus stops. Since Iceland is prone to all kinds of weather, construction plans in the forecourt include plans to cover all the main paths, thus providing passengers with shelter from water, wind and snow.

The construction of the pedestrian walkways has been divided into two phases, with foundation work already underway. The first phase involves the development of walkways leading to the internal bus stops and parking areas located in the arrivals zone, specifically the short-term parking lot at P2. The second phase will focus on the construction of walkways connecting to the long-term parking areas at P3 and the external bus stop.
