Iceland’s second city of Akureyri is to gain its first air link from Stansted.
Twice weekly flights, operated by Iceland Express on Thursdays and Sundays, will run for a month only, from September 29 to October 29 with 10.45 departures from Stansted.
The move came as the airline started offering one-way fares of £76 from Stansted to Reykjavik for travel this month via its website www.icelandexpress.com. The rate compares with standard prices of up to £159.
Paul Argyle, whose company Flight Directors represents the low cost carrier in the UK, said the Akureyri link was a “toe in the water” to gauge interest from the UK, underpinned by demand from Icelanders to get away before the winter sets in.
