Icelandair announced as the first airline partner of Southwest Airlines
Icelandair and Southwest Airlines have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to initiate a bilateral partnership in 2025. The partnership will allow customers to easily connect between the two airlines’ networks. Icelandair will become Southwest’s initial airline partner.
What does this mean for passengers?
The initial North American gateway between Southwest Airlines and Icelandair will be Baltimore (BWI), with other destinations to follow. From these gateways, Icelandair customers will have the opportunity to connect to numerous Southwest destinations.
Southwest customers will benefit from connections to Icelandair’s extensive network, which covers five airports in Iceland, four in Greenland, and 34 destinations in Europe.
Our European network reaches superstar capitals like Paris, London, and Amsterdam; Nordic hotspots such as Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo; and year-round favorites including Rome, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Prague.
We look forward to welcoming Southwest passengers on board our flights and bringing the spirit of Iceland to their journeys!
