Icelandair expands to 19 US and Canadian airports in 2025 with record daily flights

Icelandair is set to operate flights to 19 destinations across the US and Canada in 2025, including the introduction of new routes to Miami and Nashville.

This expansion marks a significant increase in daily transatlantic operations, with a record 25 daily departures from Keflavik International Airport.

The airline's first-ever Keflavik-Nashville flight will launch on April 10, 2025, operating four times a week using a Boeing 737 MAX 8, benefiting from Icelandair's new partnership with Southwest Airlines. Meanwhile, the Miami route will commence on October 25, 2025, operating three times per week on the Airbus A321LR.

Other recent additions to the network include Baltimore, Detroit, Halifax, Pittsburgh, and Raleigh Durham, reinstating or expanding services to previously served destinations.

This strategic deployment of seasonal and high-demand routes allows Icelandair to balance load factors and improve yield management while maintaining year-round service to key destinations.

Despite the expansion, Icelandair has discontinued flights to several airports in the past, primarily due to competition and market shifts. These include:

With new-generation aircraft like the Airbus A321LR and Boeing 737 MAX 8, Icelandair is positioning itself for fuel efficiency and optimized long-haul performance. The Keflavik hub will continue to serve as a key transatlantic connection between North America and Europe, offering seamless connectivity for passengers.
