Icelandair resumes flights to London & Glasgow

In July and August we offer frequent flights between Keflavík and London Heathrow. 

In September, we resume regular flights to Glasgow.

Check our flight schedule for up-to-date details for the coming weeks.

Our number one priority is the health and safety of our customers and crew. Read about our safety measures – at the airport and on board – on our Safe travels - shared responsibility page.

As countries open up again, travel restrictions are fast-changing. Travelers should look into the current rules that apply to them for the destination they wish to visit (for example, requirements for a COVID test or possible quarantine, what documentation is required), and also for rules that apply to their return trip (for example, the need to quarantine after returning home).
