The new Belfast City route will commence from June 1, 2017 and will be operated using a 72-seat Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 turboprop. It will operate from Keflavik International Airport in Iceland, providing extensive connection options to the Transatlantic network of Icelandair from the mid-Atlantic island as well as support growing business and leisure flows into Iceland which is becoming an increasingly popular leisure destination.
The year round, four times weekly service to Aberdeen is Icelandair’s second gateway in Scotland, and sixth in the UK. The new route was announced after the city successfully hosted last year's Routes Europe.
