Icelandair Enters Poland With New Keflavík-Gdańsk Route for Winter 2026/27
Icelandair is set to enter the Poland market for the first time with a new nonstop route between Keflavík International Airport (KEF) and Gdańsk (GDN) starting 18 September 2026.
Key takeaways
-
New route: KEF–GDN launches 18 September 2026 and is planned to run through 29 March 2027.
-
Frequency & aircraft: 3–4 flights per week operated by Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
-
Connections: The route adds a new option for travelers connecting via KEF to Icelandair’s broader network, including North America.
Route details
The KEF–GDN service will give Poland a new direct link to Iceland while also creating a fresh one-stop pathway from northern Poland to Icelandair’s transatlantic network via KEF. For Iceland, it adds another Central/Northern Europe spoke that can help feed both inbound tourism and onward connections.
What it means for travelers
For passengers in northern Poland, Gdańsk becomes a new access point to Iceland—and, via KEF, to onward long-haul destinations with the convenience of Icelandair’s hub-and-connect model. For Iceland-based travelers, it opens a direct gateway to Poland’s Baltic coast region without needing a connection elsewhere in Europe.
Geneva route also extended into winter
Alongside the Poland launch, Icelandair is also extending its Geneva (GVA) service into the winter season, with flights scheduled to operate between 19 December 2026 and 17 March 2027.
Bottom line
Icelandair’s new KEF–GDN route marks a notable network expansion into Poland, pairing VFR and leisure demand with Icelandair’s proven KEF connecting strategy—while its winter extension to Geneva adds more off-peak breadth to the Europe schedule.
