October 27, 2025 – On October 26, Icelandair celebrated its first-ever scheduled flight from Miami to Iceland, when flight 690 departed from Miami International Airport, marking an exciting milestone in Icelandair’s route network. The airline will operate three weekly flights from Miami on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, until May 3, 2026. The route will be served by the airline’s new Airbus A321LR aircraft, with a flight time of less than 8 hours.

I am extremely proud to welcome Icelandair to MIA for its first-ever service in Miami-Dade County.  Icelandair’s expansion into South Florida with nonstop Miami-Reykjavik flights now gives our residents direct access to the majestic natural beauty of Iceland and continues expanding our airport’s connections throughout the world.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

Icelandair’s new service establishes MIA as the only airport in Florida with nonstop flights to all five sovereign countries in Scandinavia and makes Reykjavik MIA’s 18th  European destination. Miami becomes Icelandair’s 19^th gateway in North America.

We are delighted to launch flights from Miami and offer our passengers more options when traveling to Iceland and beyond.  Our new Airbus A321LR aircraft enables us to fly to destinations that were previously out of reach, and Miami is a perfect example. This route also creates convenient connections for travelers from Miami to our 38 destinations in Europe via Iceland—and vice versa. We look forward to welcoming Miami aboard!

Bogi Nils Bogason, Icelandair President and CEO.

With an extensive route network, Icelandair uses Iceland’s unique geographical location as a hub midway between Europe and North America, offering direct flights to around 60 destinations. In addition to the international route network, Icelandair operates a domestic network in Iceland, an airfreight and logistics business, and aircraft leasing and consulting services.

Since its founding in 1937, Icelandair has steadily expanded its route network. In 2024, it transported 4.7 million passengers to 55 destinations in Europe and North America and employed around 3,600 full-time employees.

Miami International Airport, America’s busiest airport for international freight and the second busiest for international passengers, is receiving an unprecedented investment of $9 billion in capital improvements and maintenance upgrades. MIA offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport and is also the leading economic engine for Miami-Dade County and the state of Florida, generating business revenue of $181 billion and approximately 60 percent of all international visitors to Florida annually.
