Icelandair’s Denver-to-Reykjavík route has been so successful, the airline plans to offer daily service during the summer next year.
The route began in May 2012 with service four times a week and was expanded to six times a week this past summer. Now a Denver passenger will be able to catch a flight to Iceland any day of the week, beginning next June 4 through early September.
“DIA supports this steady, methodical increase in capacity,” Laura Jackson, senior director of air-service development and aviation research for DIA, said in an e-mail. “We think this is a great strategy — we want carriers to be successful over the long term so we continue to be encouraged by these incremental additions in capacity.”
In addition to peak summer travel months, Icelandair is increasing its seasonal “shoulders” — or buffer months. The route will be five days a week in April, four the rest of the year. Reykjavík is DIA’s eighth-largest European market.
