Icelandair to Suspend Direct Flights Between Halifax and Reykjavik in October
Icelandair will end its direct flights between Halifax Stanfield International Airport and Reykjavik's Keflavik International Airport after its last scheduled flight on October 18, eliminating the only scheduled air link between Iceland and Atlantic Canada.
Icelandair will suspend its direct flights between Halifax Stanfield International Airport and Reykjavik’s Keflavik International Airport following its last scheduled flight on October 18. The airline had reintroduced non-stop service on the route in May 2024.
With the removal of Icelandair’s schedule, there will be no scheduled air link between Iceland and Atlantic Canada. Travellers holding bookings for dates after the suspension are advised to check their itineraries directly with Icelandair for rebooking arrangements.
Despite the loss of the Iceland connection, Halifax retains access to a European network with non-stop service to 12 destinations across the continent. Air Canada continues to operate year-round service between Halifax and London Heathrow.
