Icelandair and AEGEAN Expand Codeshare, Connecting Iceland and Greece

Icelandair and AEGEAN have expanded their codeshare partnership to include Athens, Greece, as a new key gateway. This collaboration builds upon existing connections through Santorini and Crete, and Icelandic hubs Reykjavik and Akureyri. The expansion aims to strengthen connectivity between Greece and Iceland, facilitating through itineraries with single bookings, coordinated schedules, and through-checked baggage, according to thetraveler.org.

Athens, AEGEAN’s hub, is now positioned as a central point for distributing traffic to various Greek islands and other destinations served by AEGEAN. This move allows Icelandair to leverage its transatlantic and Nordic reach, establishing a north-south tourism corridor. The partnership targets peak holiday periods, making travel easier for both Greek-based travelers and those from Iceland and Europe interested in accessing major Icelandic hubs or the Greek islands, as reported by thetraveler.org.
