NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Soon, Nashvillians will be able to take the skies in a nonstop flight to Iceland.
The Nashville International Airport and Icelandair announced the launch of a new seasonal, nonstop international air service between Music City and Reykjavík, Iceland, starting May 16, 2025.
The new flight between Nashville and Reykjavík will operate on a B737-800 MAX aircraft, with seating for 16 Saga Premium and 144 Economy passengers, BNA said in a press release. The approximately seven-hour flight will operate Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
“We are thrilled to welcome Icelandair to BNA and bridge the gap between Music City and the Land of Fire and Ice,” said Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority.
This service will allow travelers to experience Iceland and connect Nashville to Icelandair’s European network including Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Paris and more.
“This new route not only enhances our international connectivity but also provides a new gateway to Europe, further meeting the needs of our business and leisure travelers. Whether you’re dreaming of exploring the ancient glaciers of Iceland, immersing yourself in the vibrant culture of Reykjavík, or embarking on a European adventure, this new flight provides the perfect starting point, and we are overjoyed to connect our two cities,” Kreulen said.
“We are pleased to add Nashville to our network, linking Music City with Europe”, said Bogi Nils Bogason, president and CEO of Icelandair. “Travelers from the American Southeast will greatly benefit from this new service, our first in Tennessee, as we continue to offer the best options to Iceland and beyond. Our new BNA route will also provide travelers connecting through Nashville more choices throughout the US. In addition, we encourage passengers traveling to Europe, to take an Icelandair Stopover, and explore our home. We look forward to welcoming Nashville aboard.”
