Icelandair launches inaugural flight to Nashville
Flag carrier Icelandair has launched its 18th direct route to North America.
The new non-stop seasonal service between Nashville and Reykjavik took flight with four flights a week scheduled until the end of October.
The seven-hour flight operated on Boeing 737 Max jets, runs on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Nashville’s largest air carrier, Southwest Airlines, recently launched an interline agreement with Icelandair to connect travelers with transatlantic itineraries.
Customers can book connecting flights through both Nashville and Denver on Icelandair.com, and third-party websites, with flights beginning May 12.
Southwest will offer up to 180+ peak-day departures later this year from Nashville, to the nearly 90 North American airports Southwest serves nonstop from Middle Tennesee.
Tomas Ingason, Icelandair Chief Commercial Officer: “We’re very excited to start this new service, and we have already had a great reception.”
“This new connection links Music City to Iceland and also to our nearly 40 destinations across Europe.”
Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of BNA: “This partnership not only strengthens Music City’s role as a global gateway but also creates new opportunities for travelers, businesses, and tourism.
The new route launch comes on the heels of Aer Lingus’ new flight launch to Nashville from Dublin.
