Icelandair Introduces Year-Round Service to Lisbon
Icelandair has announced a new year-round route connecting Keflavik International Airport (KEF) and Lisbon Airport (LIS), further expanding the airline’s presence in Southern Europe. The twice-weekly flights, which commenced in October 2024, mark the airline’s continued commitment to enhancing its global network and strengthening connections between Iceland and Portugal.
Flight Schedule and Aircraft
The new Keflavik-Lisbon service will operate with Icelandair’s Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, offering passengers a modern, fuel-efficient aircraft with comfort-focused features such as spacious seating, larger overhead bins, and advanced in-flight entertainment systems. The route is designed to meet increasing demand for travel between the two destinations, catering to both leisure travelers and business passengers looking for efficient travel options.
Flights from Keflavik to Lisbon will depart twice a week, providing convenient options for travelers seeking to explore Portugal’s capital or connect to other parts of Europe via Lisbon’s extensive network.
Strengthening Tourism and Economic Ties
Icelandair’s new route to Lisbon is part of its strategy to support the growth of tourism between Iceland and Southern Europe. Portugal’s rich culture, historic landmarks, and vibrant culinary scene have made it an increasingly popular destination for Icelandic travelers. Likewise, Iceland’s unique natural beauty and adventure tourism draw a growing number of Portuguese tourists each year.
In addition to bolstering tourism, this route is expected to enhance business and economic ties between the two countries, facilitating easier travel for professionals and fostering potential collaboration in various sectors.
