With a striking slogan: offering the fastest flight times from Europe to North America. And vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>It's true that Iceland occupies an ideal geographical position midway between continental Europe and North America. <strong>Flight times on European routes range from 2.5 hours to 4 hours.<\/strong>. <strong>Over North America - especially the East Coast - it is no more than 6 hours.<\/strong>. Montreal is just five hours from Reykjavik, New York 5 hours 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>According to the results for the third quarter of 2022, 43% of passengers are transferring.

Since 2020, the carrier has received 15 of these aircraft, which are more economical than the B737-8 or 9. By 2022, Icelandair will have integrated 6 of these aircraft. <strong>The airline is due to receive a further 5 B737MAXs in 2023<\/strong>.
