Icelandair increases network for winter 2023-24

Icelandair is raising capacity by as much as a quarter year-on-year for next winter including more transatlantic flights.

This will see the network grow by up to 17% compared to pre-pandemic winter 2019-20.

The frequency from the airline’s Reykjavik hub is being raised to as many as 21 flights a week to New York and 11 to Boston.

Routes to Raleigh Durham, Baltimore and Vancouver have been upgraded from seasonal to year-round for winter 2023-24 due to demand.

The network from Keflavik airport starting in October will see a total of 36 destinations served including the introduction of up to daily flights to Chicago and Minneapolis.

Chief revenue officer Tomas Ingason said: “Due to strong customer demand, we are now introducing our most extensive winter schedule to date.

“We have been able to extend previously seasonal routes to year-round services and increase frequencies on other routes throughout the network for the winter 23/24 season. 

“As a result, I’m delighted that we have been able to increase Icelandair’s capacity by 20%-25%, compared to winter 2022-23.

“We are always looking for further opportunities to optimise our network and connectivity for customers, so we can make even more travel options available to our passengers.”
