Icelandair has announced an adjustment to its new Reykjavik to Nashville route, moving the launch date forward by approximately one month due to what it describes as high demand. The service will now commence on April 10, 2025, instead of the originally planned May 16.
The new route will operate four times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays—using Icelandair's Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. Each flight will offer 160 seats. This seasonal service is scheduled to run until the end of October 2025.
Doug Kreulen, President and CEO of Nashville Airport (BNA), expressed enthusiasm for the earlier start: "We're thrilled to see this new connection to Iceland take flight even sooner than expected. This accelerated launch of Icelandair's new route is a testament to the excitement surrounding this connection. We're honored to partner with Icelandair to offer our passengers more international travel options and further solidify Nashville's position as a global destination."
