A new partnership: Icelandair and Turkish Airlines

Update: June 4, 2025

Partnership expansion

We're pleased to announce the expansion of our codeshare partnership with Turkish Airlines – an important step in connecting two key regions at the crossroads of continents and oceans.

Since June 2023, we've cooperated under a codeshare agreement. As part of an enhanced collaboration, Icelandair will offer direct flights between Reykjavík and Istanbul starting September 5, 2025, with two flights a week during the winter season. These new flights will be incorporated into the scope of the agreement, allowing Turkish Airlines to put its marketing code on Icelandair’s operations.

Additionally, Icelandair will place its marketing code on selected Turkish Airlines flights beyond Istanbul, covering destinations across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. This extended integration connects Icelandair’s transatlantic network with Turkish Airlines’ global reach across multiple continents, creating new opportunities for both business and leisure travel.

At Icelandair, we’re always looking for new ways to deliver more and better travel opportunities to you. This time around, we're delighted to announce a new codeshare agreement between Icelandair and Turkish Airlines, which brings new connections and easier access to exciting destinations.

A codeshare agreement between Icelandair and Turkish Airlines was signed at IATA’s Annual General Meeting in Istanbul on Sunday, June 4. With this agreement, the two airlines will be providing seamless connections to their customers and expanding the number of destinations on both carriers’ networks.

Icelandair passengers in North America and Iceland can connect eastbound via Turkish Airlines’ network to Istanbul; and Turkish Airlines worldwide passengers will be able to connect westbound via Icelandair’s network to Iceland and Canada.

This partnership increases both airlines’ offerings for convenient connections, where customers can travel on a single ticket and have their baggage checked in all the way to their final destination.

Turkish Airlines was established in 1933 with a fleet of five aircraft. Today Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance and has a fleet of 416 (passenger and cargo) aircraft. Their route network spans over 340 destinations worldwide in 129 countries.

We look forward to seeing you on board, and to exploring the new horizons that this partnership brings. Check out our partner airlines page to learn more about our codeshare agreements and other partnerships.
