On October 26, Icelandair celebrated its first-ever scheduled flight from Miami to Iceland, when flight 690 departed from Miami International Airport, marking an exciting milestone in Icelandair’s route network. The airline will operate three weekly flights from Miami on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, until May 3, 2026. The route will be served by the airline’s new Airbus A321LR aircraft, with a flight time of less than 8 hours.
Icelandair’s new service establishes MIA as the only airport in Florida with nonstop flights to all five sovereign countries in Scandinavia and makes Reykjavik MIA’s 18th European destination. Miami becomes Icelandair’s 19th gateway in North America.
With an extensive route network, Icelandair uses Iceland’s unique geographical location as a hub midway between Europe and North America, offering direct flights to around 60 destinations. In addition to the international route network, Icelandair operates a domestic network in Iceland, an airfreight and logistics business, and aircraft leasing and consulting services.
Since its founding in 1937, Icelandair has steadily expanded its route network. In 2024, it transported 4.7 million passengers to 55 destinations in Europe and North America and employed around 3,600 full-time employees.
