Iceland Express expands from Stansted
Budget carrier Iceland Express is adding flights from Stansted next year to capitalise on British Airways withdrawing a service to the destination from Gatwick.
The two additional flights will run to Kefalavik from February 26, giving 11 departures a week.
Fares start at £69 one-way including taxes.
Marketing manager Birna Guðmundsdóttir said: “We have completely revamped the identity, colour scheme, logo and aircraft livery – and now in response to growing demand due in part, we admit, to British Airways decision to suspend their flights between London Gatwick and Iceland, we are adding these two extra weekly flights from London Stansted.
“With our fifth birthday celebrations approaching and some exciting new promotions in the pipeline we’re aiming to put a trip to Iceland on the top of everyone’s agenda for 2008.”
