Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are seeing strong demand for flights and holidays to Iceland, as customers look to enjoy its beauty and natural wonders after a year of lockdowns and restrictions.
“Iceland is expected to be on the UK government’s green list, and, as we are seeing right across the board, when customers have clarity they are booking in huge numbers.
“With a great programme of scheduled flights operating from Manchester and Birmingham, in addition to 37 once-in-a-lifetime trips from seven of our other UK bases, customers have great choice and flexibility when it comes to visiting this bucket list destination.”
Twice-weekly services will operate from September 2 from Manchester, and from September 30 from Birmingham – both until November 22, 2021.
Next year, scheduled services will operate from February 10-November 10, 2022, from Manchester, and from February 10-April 25, 2022, from Birmingham.
