Future partners

In September 2024, Icelandair and Southwest Airlines signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to initiate a bilateral partnership in 2025.

The partnership will allow customers to easily connect between the two airlines’ networks. Icelandair will become Southwest’s initial airline partner. Read more in our post about the agreement.

Interline partners

At Icelandair, we take pride in our association with over 70 interline partners, adding global reach to Icelandair’s network. Through close cooperation with partners, we ensure that Icelandair provides endless travel possibilities to our customers across the globe.

Interline partnerships are an agreement between airlines to coordinate passengers with an itinerary that uses multiple airlines. It means, for example, that a passenger may not need to check in again or deal with their baggage at the transfer airport, even when they are flying with different airlines in one journey.
