REYKJAVIK, 15 NOV | Icelandair will launch direct services between Iceland and Turkey next year with its new Reykjavik-Keflavik (KEF) to Istanbul (IST) route. This will be the only nonstop link between the two countries as of now.
The new route will be operated 4x weekly with Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft from 5 September 2025, with a flight time of 5 hours and 30 minutes.
Flight Schedule:
FI900 KEF 1525 – 2355 IST
FI901 IST 0705 – 1000 KEF

Following the announcement of Istanbul as a new destination in Icelandair's route network, Icelandair and Turkish Airlines will also further expand their codeshare partnership, first announced in summer 2023. Turkish Airlines is the airline which flies to the most countries in the world, and Icelandair's schedule to Istanbul will be specially coordinated to align with Turkish Airlines flights to and from Asia and the Middle East. The new connection will therefore significantly reduce the total travel time from the east to Iceland, benefitting travelers on the route.
