Icelandair to send its Airbus A321LR to Miami

Icelandair is planning to launch a service between Reykjavik and Miami, Florida, with its new Airbus A321LR.

The new route will be a seasonal flight, operating between 25th October and March 2026. It will operate three times a week, with flights flying on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays

Whilst this flight has been confirmed to operate with Icelandair’s new A321LR (with Geven Seating and Panasonic’s Astrova IFE system)m, you are going to need that comfort, with the flight time of around 8 hours.

Bogi Nils Bogason, Icelandair President and CEO said:

“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. Miami will fit well into our route network, with convenient connections via Iceland to our 34 destinations in Europe. Welcome aboard Miami!”

Different traffic types

Whilst Icelandair focuses heavily on its connecting traffic model (where passengers change at Reykjavik for a flight to North America or a flight to Europe), it seems the airline is targeting this route at Icelanders too.

Icelandair has served Florida for some years – with Orlando as its primary gateway.

Miami is now added as a second gateway and the airlines’ 19^th destination in North America, allowing passengers further choices when flying to the region.
