Icelandair’s three Reykjavik-Rome flights may also operate this winter.
The direct twice-weekly flights, operated for the first time this year from Rome Fiumicino to Reykjavik-Keflavik, took off in July and will run until the end of October.High load factors
The initial load factor of 94% rose to 96% in August and in view of this success the company has already decided to bring forward the start of operations for next year to 14 May. It will also increase the number of weekly flights to three (Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays).
Excellent North American connections
The aircraft chosen by Icelandair for this operation is the new Boeing B737 Max in the -800 and -900 versions, and all flights have immediate onward connections to North America (New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago and Seattle).
Flights all winter?
Still under consideration by Icelandair (represented in Italy by Discover the World) is the possibility of maintaining the flights during the winter season. This would allow Italian customers to experience the charm of Iceland under the snow, with the great icefalls and the wonder of the northern lights.
