United Airlines adds flights from Washington D.C. to KEF
The first flight will take place on May 21st 2026, and service between the destinations will continue through September 2026. Ticket sales began today.
In next year’s summer schedule, United will also offer daily flights from Keflavík to New York/Newark and Chicago, as in previous years. This means that three United destinations in the U.S. will be accessible to passengers from Iceland via direct flights next summer.
United Airlines began service between Keflavík and New York/Newark in May 2018 and added Chicago as a destination in July 2021. With the new route to Washington Dulles International Airport, a third U.S. destination is now added to the airline’s offerings from Iceland.
We at Keflavík Airport are very pleased with United Airlines’ decision to add a new destination from KEF. Our partnership with United has been highly successful since the airline began flying here in 2018, and we welcome the expansion of its schedule. This move further demonstrates the airline’s confidence in Iceland as a destination. We look forward to strengthening our collaboration with United Airlines even further.
