JetBlue has announced that it is expanding its codeshare with Icelandair – Iceland’s national carrier – to offer customers more ways to book and connect their trips between the two airlines’ networks across Europe and the North America. The new codeshare flights are now available for booking on jetblue.com.

“We are delighted to extend our partnership with Icelandair to provide our customers with more options when traveling beyond Iceland,” said Robin Hayes, CEO of JetBlue. “With our recent launch of services to London Heathrow and Gatwick airports, this expansion with Icelandair gives customers even more choice for traveling across the Atlantic and the ability to enjoy a stopover in Iceland en route. “

Icelandair CEO Bogi Nils Bogason said: “This year marks the tenth anniversary of our successful partnership with JetBlue, where we have been able to provide excellent connections and increased convenience to our customers. The similarities between our business models and the focus on customer experience mean that we can provide complementary service across all of our networks. We are very happy to extend our partnership and offer travelers new connection options between the networks of the two airlines.

Current JetBlue codes on Icelandair offer customers direct flights between New York John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK), Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Iceland Keflavik International Airport (KEF) in the capital Reykjavik. As part of the codeshare expansion, the JetBlue code “B6” will initially be placed on seven of the 24 European routes operated by Icelandair beyond Reykjavik. The plan is to add more in the near future. The initial routes are:

• Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), The Netherlands
• Copenhagen Airport (CPH), Denmark
• Glasgow Airport (GLA), United Kingdom
• Helsinki Airport (HEL), Finland
• Manchester Airport (MAN), United Kingdom
• Oslo Airport (OSL), Norway
• Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN), Sweden

Customers traveling on connecting flights between Icelandair and JetBlue will benefit from both ticketing and baggage transfers. Additionally, when customers cross the Atlantic with Icelandair, they can stop over in Iceland at no additional cost, selecting a stopover duration of one to seven days to incorporate more experiences into their trip.

Iceland is a year round destination where adventure awaits every day. With its abundance of mountains, volcanoes, glaciers, rivers, lakes, caves and rugged terrain waiting to be faced, Iceland truly is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. But it’s also a warm and welcoming place for travelers of all types.
