FLY WITH
AIR ICELAND
Air Iceland offers flights within Iceland, as well as to destinations
in Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Reykjavík might be the capital, but there is so much more to
see in Iceland. Air Iceland, one of the country’s premier air-
lines, can arrange for flights and adventure-packed tours to a
variety of towns across the island. The airline, based at the do-
mestic airport in central Reykjavík, flies to every region of the
country. Travelers can fly to Grímsey in the north to cross the
Arctic Circle, visit Ísafjörður, the capital of the West Fjords, or fly
to Egilsstaðir to explore the vast and breathtaking East Fjords.
The airline also has frequent flights to Akureyri, the capital of the
north, as well as Vopnafjörður and Þórshöfn in the east. The pro-
fessional and experienced staff, from pilots to customer service
executives, take great pride in providing guests with a seamless
and convenient travel experience.
GRAND DAY TOURS
Travelers are treated to the choice of a number of exciting day
tours, ranging from thrilling to relaxing. For instance, guests can
get a grand tour of the powerful Dettifoss waterfall and explore
the spectacular sights around Lake Mývatn in the north, hike
along Jökulsá river and its many waterfalls in the east during
the summer, embark on a culinary and culture tour in the West
Fjords, and visit colonies of puffins on Grímsey in the summer.
Air Iceland has a variety of tours to accommodate all interests.
GREENLAND AND THE FAROE ISLANDS
The airline is not limited to destinations in Iceland, as Air Iceland
flies to towns in Nordic neighboring countries Greenland and
the Faroe Islands. Many travelers come to Iceland for business
or leisure and decide to extend their trip to explore even more
remote territory. Air Iceland currently flies to Nuuk, the capital
of Greenland, as well as Kulusuk, Ilulissat, Ittoqqortoormiit, and
Narsarsuaq. Greenland hosts travelers looking to survey sweep-
ing fjords studded with chunks of glacial ice, as well as whale
watching excursions and the unique Greenlandic culture. In June
2016, Air Iceland will add a new gateway to Greenland: Kanger-
lussuaq in the west. Air Iceland offers day tours during the sum-
mer to Kulusuk and hotel packages to all destinations in Green-
land. If Iceland is too populated for you, or Greenland too large,
consider a trip to Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands. Air
Iceland offers flights in cooperation with Atlantic Airways to the
city, which was founded in the ninth century by Norwegian Vi-
kings, and is today a charming modern town of 15,000 residents.
Whether you are a business traveler or visiting Iceland for an
unforgettable holiday, consider Air Iceland’s convenient flights
and diverse day tours. The warm and accommodating staff is
ready to make your dream trip a reality.
