A SPECIAL ATLANTICA SUPPLEMENT
TAX- AND DUTY-FREE
SHOPPING
at Keflavík International Airport Iceland
Iceland is exempt from the recent-
ly implemented law abolishing tax-
and duty-free sales to travellers
within the European Union (EU).
Iceland is not a member of the EU
and therefore not affected by the
change. In other words, Leifur
Eiríksson Terminal is easy on the
wallet!
With stores open for all incoming
and outgoing flights, the terminal
provides travellers with a plethora
of buying opportunities. All mer-
chandise available at the terminal
are both tax- and duty-free, and
prices are extremely competitive.
The decision to end intra-EU duty-
free sales is increasing the already
flourishing tax- and duty-free trade
at the Leifur Eiríksson Terminal,
located at Keflavík International
Airport, while at the same time
equalising taxes among EU mem-
ber states.
Icelandair does not fly between any
destinations within the EU. Thus,
Icelandair passengers can shop
duty-free at all European destina-
tions, as well as in Iceland, when
arriving and departing.
