Icelandair Picks Gdańsk for First Polish Route
Icelandair will launch direct flights between Gdańsk and Reykjavik in autumn 2026, marking the airline’s first entry into the Polish market. Services will begin on 18 September with three flights per week, positioning Gdańsk as the first airport in Poland served by the Icelandic carrier. The route strengthens the airport’s international network and adds a new northern gateway for travellers in the region.
The new connection will operate to Reykjavik–Keflavik, Icelandair’s main hub, using Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. From Keflavik, passengers will have access to the airline’s established transatlantic network. Icelandair has long relied on Iceland’s mid-Atlantic location to link European cities with North America, offering short transfer times and coordinated schedules across its route system.
Gdańsk–Reykjavik flight schedule
- Three weekly flights from 18 September 2026
- Operating on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays
- Additional Saturday service from 25 October to 15 March
- Morning departure from Iceland with midday arrival in Gdańsk
- Early afternoon return flight to Keflavik
Beyond Iceland itself, the route opens smoother access to North American destinations served via Keflavik, including New York, Washington, Chicago and Miami, as well as Canadian cities such as Toronto and Vancouver. The new service also supports leisure travel to Iceland’s natural attractions while making longer trips across the Atlantic easier to plan from northern Poland.
The new service gives Gdańsk a direct connection to Icelandair’s hub at Keflavik, removing the need for transfers via larger European airports. The route supports travel between northern Poland and Iceland, while also offering simpler onward connections across the Atlantic through a single hub.
With the launch of the Gdańsk service, Icelandair will operate in Poland for the first time. The route gives passengers a new way to reach Iceland and connect onwards to North America through Keflavik, while Gdańsk gains a scheduled link to an established transatlantic hub. Flights will be operated year-round, with frequency increasing during the winter season when demand for transatlantic connections typically rises.
