PLAY currently offers flights to four US destinations, New York Stewart International Airport, Boston Logan International Airport, Baltimore International Airport, and Washington Dules International Airport.
As well as a route to John C. Munroe Hamilton International Airport in Toronto, Canada.
Transatlantic travellers can extend their layover in Iceland from 2 hours up to 10 days, free of charge, giving passengers the opportunity to add Reykjavik to their travel itinerary.
Einar Örn Ólafsson, CEO of PLAY, says: “Our seasonal Liverpool route has quickly become one of our most popular, highlighting the growing interest in Iceland as a top destination.
“This popularity not only demonstrates the demand for travel between the UK and Iceland but additionally provides a seamless connection for travellers looking to continue their journey onward to North America, making Iceland a key gateway between Europe and the other side of the Atlantic.”
Additionally, despite recent volcanic activity on the country’s Reykjanes Peninsula this year, PLAY has had no cancellations or delays to its flight schedule.
Ólafsson added, “Iceland is famously dubbed ‘the land of fire and ice’ which comes from its northern location and reputation for volcanic activity.
“Despite this, Iceland has some of the most advanced volcanic preparedness systems in the world to safeguard the public and remains a very safe destination for both locals and visitors.
Indeed, in the last 400 days of volcanic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula, not a single PLAY flight has been cancelled as a result.”
In Q2 2024, PLAY flew over 442,000 passengers with a fleet of 10 aircraft, serving more than 36 destinations worldwide.
