Mýflug (in Icelandic pronounced as /ˈmiːˌflʏːx/; named after Lake Mývatn in Northern Iceland), also called Myflug Air, is an Icelandic airline established in 1985. It operates scheduled domestic, charter, medivac and sightseeing flights.[1]

The company operates three different types of airplanes for various roles: BAe Jetstream 32 for scheduled domestic flights; Beechcraft Super King Air and Cessna 206 for ambulance/charter operations. Its main focus is on the ambulance flight service provided to Iceland and charter flights to airfields in Iceland and Greenland.

Mýflug also operates sightseeing flights around Lake Mývatn during the summer months.

In 2023 Mýflug acquired the majority of shares in Eagle Air, which had ran into financial difficulties and the year after the two airlines merged into a single entity, called Mýflug. Subsequently, Eagle Air was declared bankrupt and its Air Operator's Certificate was revoked.[2]

Mýflug took over operation of Eagle Air's only remaining route, from Reykjavík Airport to Hornafjörður Airport, Höfn; a government subsidised essential air service.[3] In October 2024, Mýflug Air secured a government contract for seasonal winter flights to Vestmannaeyjar Airport for the period 2024-2027, running from December to February.[4]
