Feb 04, 2016 (newstodate): Time is running out for plans for new flights between Copenhagen and Akureyri, in Iceland, from summer 2016.
In September 2014, the Icelandic travel agency Trans Atlantic signed a LoI with Estonian Air under which Estonian Air would provide a weekly rotation from May till September 2016 between Akureyri and Copenhagen Airport with Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft. But with the stop of operations by Estonian Air, the case was again open.
Trans Atlantic is now in talks with Estonia's Nordic Aviation to take over the flights, but time is running out and a decision must be made within the next few weeks if the flights are actually to be launched.
Over time, several attempts have been made to secure direct air services between Akureyri and Copenhagen, but all have so far failed after a brief period or even prior to launch of planned services.
Located on Iceland's northern coast, Akureyri Airport has one 2,400m runway supporting mainly seasonal traffic and so far no carrier has managed to secure scheduled flights.
