Despite recent seismic activity, the threat of a sudden eruption in the Grindavík region is declining, with normal operations reported at Keflavik Airport and major airlines.

Recent volcanic activity in Iceland has sparked concerns about potential air travel disruptions across Europe. However, with daily seismic activity waning and a robust preparedness framework in place, the threat of massive flight interruptions is minimal.
The probability of a sudden eruption in the Grindavík region is declining, according to the latest update from the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
The state of emergency and subsequent evacuations in Grindavík underscore Iceland’s proactive stance on public safety.
With seismic events decreasing and no ongoing eruption, Keflavik Airport and Iceland’s major airlines, including Icelandair and PLAY, report normal operations.
Travel to Iceland remains safe with no ongoing eruption and flights operating normally. Given the current conditions and lessons learned from Eyjafjallajökull, significant flight cancellations are unlikely.
