De Havilland Canada DHC-8-200 of Icelandair Connect landing at Isafjordur airport BIIS in remote West Fjords in Iceland in 17 may 2021. Icelandair flies to this airport daily. They also used DC-3, DC-4, Vickers Viscount 759, F27 and F50, and now they are using the Dash 8-200. The last 230 degree turn to the runway is necessary in certain wind conditions because of the high mountains encircling the airport. This approach is dreaded by passengers in bad weather because you are so close to the mountains in a 35-40 degree bank. This airport has high limits regarding cloud level and winds. Once you are in the fjord, go around is not an option. Check out my channel for other aviation vides.
