Iceland has started its year-round service to Chicago O’Hare International airport.
The four-times weekly route from Reykjavik will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with connections from six UK airports.
The new route means Icelandair now offers services to 16 North American gateways with connections including Heathrow, Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Aberdeen airports.
"We are excited to return to the Windy City as a bigger, better airline that can best serve the dynamic market of Chicago and its nearly 10 million inhabitants,”said Birkir Holm Gudnason, CEO of Icelandair.
“Chicagoans will now have a refreshing alternative when traveling to Iceland and beyond, and Icelanders and Europeans will have access to the vibrant and historic city of Chicago. This is an exciting and significant moment for Icelandair and we look forward to welcoming Chicago aboard."
