Summer 2022 will see Icelandair open a new seasonal route from Rome Fiumicino, the capital's primary airport, to Reykjavik on the Icelandic coast, the country's capital and largest city.
The connection will operate twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays from 6 July to 4 September.
Connections with North Atlantic routes
The new route will also allow passengers traveling for business and leisure the chance to take advantage of travel connections on the Icelandicair network via Reykjavik. The Rome-Reykjavik route will also allow important connections between the Eternal City and North Atlantic routes, allowing transit passengers to take advantage of a stopover in Iceland without any additional airfare. In addition to Rome, the Icelandic airline will launch two other new destinations this summer: Nice and Alicante.
“More choice and convenient connections”
"As we enter 2022, we can see signs of recovery for the travel industry - said Bogi Nils Bogason, President and CEO of Icelandair – and we are thrilled to be able to add Rome to our already extensive network of destinations. With the addition of Rome, Nice and Alicante for the summer, Icelandair is committed to offering our European and North Atlantic customers more choice and convenient connections."
Rome’s strategic role for the European market
Ivan Bassato, Chief Aviation Officer of Aeroporti di Roma (ADR) added: "We are really pleased to welcome Icelandair to Fiumicino airport. The inauguration of the direct connection to Reykjavik scheduled for the summer confirms the effectiveness of the initiatives implemented by ADR, as well as the strategic role of Rome as a reference for both the European market and the world’s most important cities."
