Icelandair today celebrated the launch of its first scheduled flight to Gdansk, marking the airline’s first destination in Poland. To commemorate the occasion, celebrations were held for passengers at both Keflavík International Airport and Gdansk Airport upon the aircraft’s arrival.
The new service adds Gdansk to Icelandair’s growing route network and will operate three to four times weekly. The route strengthens connectivity between Iceland and Poland while providing travelers from northern Poland with convenient connections via Keflavík to Icelandair’s extensive North American network. At the same time, it offers passengers from Iceland and North America direct access to one of Poland’s most historic and vibrant cities.
Gdansk is one of Poland’s oldest cities, renowned for its historic waterfront, beautifully restored Old Town, and growing role as a center for business and tourism. The city has become an increasingly popular year-round destination and is a natural addition to Icelandair’s European network.
Tomas Ingason, Icelandair Chief Commercial Officer:
“We are delighted to celebrate our inaugural flight to Gdansk and the opening of Icelandair’s first destination in Poland. Poland is an important market for us, and this new route further strengthens the ties between our two countries. We see strong opportunities in both point-to-point travel and connecting traffic through Keflavík to and from North America. We have received a very warm welcome in Poland and look forward to serving passengers on this route for many years to come.”
Iwona Tomczyńska, Director of Economic Analysis and Marketing at Gdańsk Airport:
“We are honored and delighted that Icelandair has recognized the potential of the Pomerania region and selected Gdańsk as its first airport and city in Poland for launching regular flights between our countries. Now, travelers can not only visit Iceland but also take advantage of a quick and convenient connection in Keflavík to continue their journeys to the United States or Canada. We are confident that this route will be a success and remain part of our network for the long term.”
