New flights from Long Island MacArthur Airport to Iceland will begin on May 25, 2025
This service, offered through a partnership between Southwest Airlines and Icelandair, will provide passengers with a convenient connection to Reykjavik (KEF) via a stopover in Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).
This expansion opens up new travel opportunities for Long Island residents looking to visit Iceland and other European destinations served by Icelandair.
These developments underscore Long Island MacArthur Airport's commitment to enhancing travel options and connectivity for the region.
