   Reykjavík Airport (Icelandic: Reykjavíkurflugvöllur) (IATA: RKV, ICAO: BIRK) is the main domestic airport serving Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, located about two kilometres (1+1⁄4 miles) from the city centre. Having shorter runways than the city's larger Keflavík International Airport, which is sited 50 kilometres (30 mi) out of town, it only serves internal flights within Iceland, small international charters, transatlantic ferry flights and private flights. It can also serve as alternate airport for flights inbound towards Keflavík, in case of adverse weather conditions there. To distinguish from the larger Keflavík International Airport outside Reykjavík, it is sometimes unofficially in English called Reykjavik City Airport (also by the airport administration), and also Reykjavik Domestic Airport.Reykjavík Airport is the main hub of Eagle Air and the domestic hub of Icelandair, and it currently has two runways (as of January 2022). Reykjavík Airport is owned and operated by the state enterprise Isavia.

1. Birk

   Birk was during the Scandinavian Middle Ages the name for a demarcated area, especially a town or a market place, with its own laws and privileges, the Bjarkey laws. In Denmark, the name was to be used also for other areas than towns and markets. These areas were exempted from the ordinary jurisdictions of the hundreds and the towns. There were royal, ecclesiastical and aristocratic birks with their own law courts and birk assemblies. After the Protestant Reformation, the ecclesiastical birks passed to the king. The royal birks were after some time abolished, but more and more aristocratic ones were established, where the aristocratic landlord appointed birk judges, birk bailiffs, and birk notaries. The aristocratic birk privilege was reduced in 1809 and it was completely abolished in 1849. The term birk was to endure for some time, however. In Norway, some counties, baronies and noble estates also had birk privileges, but they were abolished in 1821. Some scholars have proposed that the place name Birka would have origins in birk, but this theory has not been generally accepted.
