Initially planned as a seasonal service, the route has now been upgraded to year-round due to strong reception from customers. The route will be operated by a Boeing 737-MAX 8 aircraft, with a flying time of 2 hours 20 minutes to Edinburgh, and 2 hours 35 minutes back to Keflavik.
The flight times for the route ensure that passengers can connect seamlessly onto Icelandair’s extensive global network, with the airline serving 18 destinations in North America, playing a vital role in bringing Iceland to the world and vice versa.
The route launches following the 80th anniversary of Icelandair commencing flights to Scotland this year, a journey that began a legacy of connecting the two great countries as part of the airline’s first international service. Edinburgh becomes Icelandair’s second Scottish route to the Icelandic capital Reykjavik, joining Glasgow and further strengthening the airline’s presence in the region.
