Icelandair to launch Cleveland transatlantic flights
Cleveland is to get its first nonstop transatlantic flight for nearly a decade.
Icelandair will make Cleveland its latest US destination, flying to the airline’s Keflavik hub airport near Reykjavik.
Cleveland last had a direct transatlantic link in 2009 when United Airlines scrapped its London service.
The airline will begin four weekly flights in May 2018 using Boeing 757s on the route.
"Cleveland is the perfect destination for our route network. We are happy to be the first carrier to provide service to Europe in eight years," Icelandair CEO Birkir Holm Gudnason said in a statement.
"This addition also strengthens our route network and bridges Europe and Cleveland together by providing direct service to Iceland in addition to quick and convenient connections to 30 destinations in Europe."
Cleveland becomes the 19th city in North America for Icelandair which includes seasonal services to Anchorage, Orlando, Philadelphia and Portland.
