[edit] Serves

I noticed that "Serves" in the infobox has been changed from "Iceland" to "Keflavík". The script for it says "closest town" but the airport serves the whole country. Should it as "Keflavík" or be reverted to "Iceland"? or perhaps Greater Reykjavík Area? (Pollodiablo 19:36, 10 March 2006 (UTC))

Changed to Greater Reykjavík Area. --Mareklug ^talk 09:54, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

It is normal to say that the airport serves the largest town in the metropolitain area, i.e. the one that give name to the greater area. It is not nessesary to state that it serves the greater area since that is understood when specifying which city it serves. This has to do with standard naming procedures within aviation, since most airports are not located in the same administrative area as the city they usually serve. Therefor the correct and consistent place served by Keflavík Airport is Reykjavík, thus leaving out Greater Area. Arsenikk 14:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Done. --Mareklug ^talk 15:06, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
