Icelandair has started its year-round service from Aberdeen to Reykjavik.
The new route becomes Icelandair’s second in Scotland and sixth in the UK.
Flights will operate four times weekly – Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
The flight to Reykjavik will provide connections to the airline’s 16 destinations in North America and Canada. Icelandair destinations in North America include New York, Orlando, Seattle, Toronto and recently announced Chicago starting on March 16 and Montreal on May 19.
“We see great opportunities in connecting this market to our route network of North American destinations,” said Birkir Holm Gudnason, CEO of Icelandair. “Travel times will be shortened and we’re confident customers will appreciate the easy connections through our hub in Iceland”.
The new Aberdeen-Reykjavik service will be operated on behalf of Icelandair by Air Iceland, a subsidiary of Icelandair Group. The aircraft used will be a Bombardier Q400 that seats 72 passengers and offers passengers two cabins of travel to choose from, Economy and Economy Comfort.
