A new airline operates flights from Gdansk to Iceland

Icelandair will launch service this autumn offering direct connections to Reykjavík. Among other things, this airline offers passengers very attractive connections to North America. Gdansk is the first airport in Poland from which Icelandair will operate.

From September 18, 2026, the carrier will launch three weekly flights between Gdansk and Keflavík International Airport - on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. From October 25 to March 15, an additional Saturday flight will be added. The aircraft will depart from Iceland at 7:20 a.m. and land in Gdansk at 11:55 a.m. The return flight from Gdansk is scheduled for 12:50 p.m., with arrival at 3:50 p.m.

Passengers landing at the Icelandic hub in Keflavík will be able to take advantage of convenient connections to major North American cities, including New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Miami, as well as to Canada - Toronto and Vancouver. Iceland has an excellent location midway between Europe and North America.

Icelandair is the 12th airline in the route network from Gdansk. Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport is the first airport in Poland chosen by this new airline.

“The new connection is a major milestone for Icelandair. For the first time, we are entering the Polish market. It is a positive step on many levels: it facilitates travel home for the Polish diaspora and Icelanders alike, while positioning Iceland as a hub for travelers seeking direct connections to Iceland or onward flights to North America. The location of our hub allows us to efficiently serve the market, and we are pleased to open our doors to Poland,” said Bogi Nils Bogason, CEO of Icelandair.

“As a regional airport, we are growing and strengthening our role in the European route network, serving around 100 destinations and significant international traffic. We are part of a larger transport and economic system, where strong aviation hubs such as London, Oslo and Copenhagen help drive the traffic and regional accessibility. Now, Reykjavík - Keflavík joins this group thanks to Icelandair, offering connections - including transatlantic ones - with very convenient transfers,” said Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Airport.

Thanks to the route operated by Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, Gdansk is becoming a new gateway to Iceland, which is home to a growing Polish community. This new route will make it easier for Poles to stay in touch with their relatives in the home country, while Icelanders living in Poland will find it easier to visit their families in Reykjavík.

Icelandair, founded in 1937, is the national carrier of Iceland domiciled in Reykjavík. The airline offers connections to nearly 70 destinations - not only in North America but also across Europe.
