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."
