For Icelandic and North American travellers, the route offers direct access to Gdansk’s vibrant culture, historic old town, and artistic heritage, without the need for connecting flights through larger European hubs. Passengers from Gdansk can connect seamlessly through Iceland’s Keflavík hub to major North American cities, capitalizing on Iceland’s strategic position midway between Europe and North America.

The new Gdansk-Keflavík service complements Icelandair’s broader network expansion, with multiple weekly departures allowing for convenient connections to key North American destinations.

In further network expansion, Icelandair’s Geneva route has been strengthened with an extended winter schedule. The service will now operate twice weekly on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 from 19 December 2026 through to Easter 2027, providing enhanced winter connectivity to this important European hub.

Icelandair customers travelling between Europe and North America can enhance their journey with a stopover in Iceland for up to 7 days, combining Polish connections with Icelandic experiences.

Icelandair’s spokesperson told ch-aviation that the new aircraft will be powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1000 engines and will feature the same seating layout as the rest of its A321LR fleet, with 165 economy class seats and 22 business class seats.

The news about the lease of additional A321LRs comes only a month after Icelandair hinted at a new aircraft deal, as the company is looking to add more airliners before the arrival of its first A321-200NY(XLR) in 2029. Icelandair is satisfied with the performance of the recently inducted aircraft variant that is replacing the ageing B757s.

Apart from A321LRs, the airline operates seventeen B737-8s, four B737-9s, eleven B757-200s, three B767-300ERs, and one B767-300ER(BCF). Its subsidiary Flugfélag Íslands operates three DHC-8-Q200s and three DHC-8-Q400s, ch-aviation data shows.

As previously reported, Icelandair wants to increase the number of aircraft in its fleet to between 70 and 100 by 2037.
