The airline will offer three to four flights per week to the Scottish capital after extending the inaugural route from seasonal to year-round due to strong demand
The route launches following the 80th anniversary of Icelandair’s operations in Scotland, with Edinburgh becoming the airline’s second Scottish route to Reykjavik.
Bogi Nils Bogason, president and CEO at Icelandair, said the airline is “delighted to welcome Edinburgh to our network […] the new service opens up the remarkable Scottish city to even more travellers and offers the people of Edinburgh and surrounding areas the chance to explore Iceland and beyond.
“Introducing our new Edinburgh route is a testament to our long-standing commitment to Scottish travellers, and we look forward to welcoming both loyal and first-time passengers as we strengthen the bridge between our nations.”
