After the Chicago addition, Icelandair will provide service from 15 North American gateways: A year-round service from Boston, Chicago-ORD, Denver, Edmonton, Newark, New York-JFK, Seattle, Toronto, and Washington, D.C., and a seasonal service from Anchorage, Halifax, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Orlando, Portland, OR and Vancouver.
Icelandair has been in operation since 1937 and has a long history of providing flights from the United States to Europe, including an earlier 15-year stint from Chicago that began in 1973.
Birkir Holm Gudnason, CEO of Icelandair, said in a statement that the company is excited to return to Chicago as a bigger, better airline. “Chicagoans will now have a refreshing alternative when traveling to Iceland and beyond, and Icelanders and Europeans will have direct access to the vibrant and historic city of Chicago. This is an exciting and significant moment for Icelandair and we look forward to welcoming Chicago aboard.
Icelandair allows passengers to take an Icelandair Stopover in Iceland for up to seven nights at no additional airfare.
