Maybe unrelated. But while doing some research I happened to notice that Keflavik recently had a complete renovation of the airport surface. All the runways and tarmacs replaced in 2018
Keflavik has been an important US Naval Air Station for many, many years and I think has been re-designated as a Joint Forces Base now. Many upgrades were done over the years to taxiways/ runways and adding new support services. I think the improvements/ maintenance has been an ongoing program. Not sure if they built any new "containment structures" there.
They are repairing the runway in the Azores, so there is a good chance that lots of people/equipment/materials will need to be shipped in. Potentially from Iceland or Greece? Who knows. (There's a prison there, too.)
