On January 10th, significant restrictions on air traffic at Reykjavík Airport were announced. These restrictions involve the closure of two runways during nighttime due to the impact of vegetation on approach and departure surfaces. The Icelandic Air Ambulance Center expresses serious concerns regarding these restrictions, as unrestricted access for air ambulances to Reykjavík Airport is, in many cases, a matter of life and death for critically ill and injured patients from large parts of the country.
