Here are some very minor corrections:
BISA "Sauderflugvollur" -> "Saudarflugvollur"
BISK "Skorgarsandur" -> "Skorgasandur"
BISR "Stori-Kroppur" -> "Storikroppur"
BISA is Sanda flugvollur ( not Saudarflugvollur)
BISA has only one runway 01/19.
BISA approx. location is 65°,-20°
Saudarflugvollur is not real airport, just a sand area in the wilderness
I see now that there is indeed a new airstrip at Lat 65.1344, lon -19.6631. And some websites refer to it as Sandá BISA. However the current Icelandic AIP lists no airstrip at that location. We have to conclude that Sandá is not official, and certainly does not have the ICAO code 'BISA'.
I just downloaded this airport and it does not work. I open it with WED but there was nothing in the file.
Also see my previous report about this airport.
I found no problems with downloading the BISA scenery pack. I tested with WED 1.4.0, WED 1.5.1, and X-Plane 10.51.
How did you download and import the scenery pack? The best method is to run WED, select 'Import from Airport Scenery Gateway ...', and select BISA. Then all runways etc are immediately displayed.
The alternative method (which matches your symptoms) is to press 'Download' on the present web page. This gives you BISA-Scenery-Pack.zip, which you have to move to Custom_Scenery and unzip. Then you run WED, open BISA, and you see ... nothing. The trick is that you have to do 'Import apt.dat...' and 'Import DSF ...'. Then you will see everything.

Woops. What I meant to say was "Skogasandur"
BISA is Sanda flugvollur ( not Saudarflugvollur)
BISA has only one runway 01/19.
BISA approx. location is 65°,-20°
Saudarflugvollur is not real airport, just a sand area in the wilderness

BISA is correctly named and positioned in scenery pack 37406.
The information is from the Icelandic AIP, http://eaip.samgongustofa.is/28-Apr-2017-NA/, and further details were confirmed in emails with its operator, Ómar Ragnarsson.
It may look like empty wilderness, but close examination of orthophotos shows a bus (the 'terminal'), and all runways marked with white stones,

It sounds like the current information for BISA is correct.
If there is a new airport, you can submit a new airport code request on the bug reporter form.

I have checked and found no problem. See the BISA page, where I give a more detailed response.
