Icelandair has announced the launch of direct flights from Iceland to Miami, set to begin in October. The new route will be operated using the Airbus A321LR, complementing the airline's existing service to Orlando. This development makes Miami International Airport (MIA) the 19th destination in Icelandair's North American network.

The new service is scheduled to run three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, from October 25 through March. It aims to attract both Icelandic travelers seeking Florida's warm climate and European passengers looking for a winter escape. The flights will connect Reykjavik's Keflavik International Airport (KEF) with Miami, taking between seven and a half to eight hours.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava expressed her support for the new route: "I applaud Icelandair for deciding to expand into South Florida with nonstop Reykjavik service at MIA, which will soon give our residents direct access to the majestic natural beauty of Iceland."

Bogi Nils Bogason, President and CEO of Icelandair, highlighted the strategic importance of this addition: “We are thrilled to be opening a new gateway from Europe to sunny Florida via Iceland and from Miami to Iceland and beyond. With the new long-range and fuel-efficient Airbus aircraft we are able to add new and exciting destinations and Miami is a great addition.”

Passengers on these flights can also take advantage of Icelandair’s Stopover package, allowing them up to seven days in Iceland at no additional airfare cost.

This expansion follows previous services by Icelandair in Florida; they previously served Tampa while continuing operations in Orlando year-round with Boeing 757-200s and Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.

Additionally, American Airlines is enhancing its European connections from Miami this year by introducing flights to Rome (FCO) and increasing its London Heathrow (LHR) service frequency.
