Icelandair adds Edinburgh-Reykjavik service for winter 2025

Icelandair is introducing a service between Edinburgh and Reykjavik for winter 2025.

The route, launching in September, will be the airline’s second Scottish service, with flights already operating from Glasgow.

Three or four flights a week will depart from Edinburgh from September 12, 2025, until April 12, 2026 using a Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft. 

The flight time between the two capital cities will be two and a half hours.

Icelandair president and chief executive Bogi Nils Bogason said: “We are very excited to add Edinburgh to our network, particularly in our 80th year of flying from Scotland.

“Not only will this give the people of Edinburgh and surrounding areas the opportunity to visit Iceland and other great destinations on our network, but it will also allow more access to the beautiful capital of Scotland.

“Our network now spans more than 60 destinations, and travellers can make the most of their journey by taking advantage of our stopover programme, enjoying a stay in Iceland along the way.”
