Icelandair now connects Berlin Tegel to Reykjavik in Iceland<br />

three times a week. The airline will fly to the world’s northernmost<br />

capital every Monday, Friday and Sunday.<br />

Birkir Holm Gudnason, CEO of Icelandair: “we celebrate the<br />

opening of our new service from Berlin, one of the great cities<br />

of Europe,” says Birkir Holm Gudnason, Icelandair CEO “Berlin<br />

is a welcome destination for our Icelandic and North American<br />

travellers wanting to explore and enjoy this historic city. The<br />

new route will enable German travellers to have more choice in<br />

discovering Iceland and will offer them a smooth alternative for<br />

travel onwards to over 20 North American destinations with of<br />

course an option of a stopover in Iceland for up to 7 nights for no<br />

additional airfare.”<br />

Elmar Kleinert, COO of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH:<br />

“With Icelandair we welcome a new airline at Berlin Tegel. The<br />

new route is of course not only attractive to nature-lovers and<br />

Iceland-holidaymakers. Reykjavik is the perfect stopover location<br />

for travellers to and from North America and enriches our flight<br />

itinerary. We wish Icelandair much prosperity and a successful<br />

development in Berlin.”<br />

The flight time to Reykjavik is about three and a half hours. All<br />

routes are operated by Boeing 757 aircraft.<br />

Whether it is volcanoes, mountains, glaciers or the famous<br />

geysers – Iceland’s natural landscape leaves nothing to be desired.<br />

Breathtaking sunsets make the ice shine red in the winter months<br />

and make for unforgettable moments. If you are lucky, on clear<br />

winter nights you can see flickering green stripes in the sky,<br />

the so-called Northern Lights, which bathe the landscape in a<br />

magical light.<br />

A good starting point for exploring the island is its capital,<br />

Reykjavik. The gateway to Iceland combines tradition and<br />

modernity. The cosmopolitan metropolis offers visitors numerous<br />

activities, excursions and a vibrant nightlife. The capital city has<br />

also many modern hotels to choose from; click to book a room in<br />

Reykjavik. A must for every visitor is a trip to the Sun Voyager<br />
