Icelandair will take off from Vancouver to more than 20 destinations in Europe starting May 13, 2014 and continue through Oct.  12, 2015, with service twice a week.Flights will depart from Vancouver International Airport to Keflavik International Airport and connect to flights to Icelandair's European network, which includes Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm.

Icelandair will also provide service from Edmonton to more than 20 destinations in Europe starting March 26, 2014 and continue through Jan.  2015, with service four times a week.

The Icelandair schedule for 2014 is the biggest in the company's history and will increase by 18 per cent from 2013 with new gateways, new destinations and added frequency to several cities in North America and Europe. 

“Our Seattle service, which serves those primarily south of the border, has been a success for us and we hope our Vancouver service will be just as popular,” said Birkir Holm Gudnason, CEO of Icelandair in a statement. “Besides adding Iceland as a nonstop destination from Vancouver, our service will make it much easier to travel to Scandinavia.”
