DALLAS — Icelandair (FI) and Emirates (EK) have signed a codeshare agreement that will allow customers to seamlessly travel across the two carriers' networks, opening new travel corridors. The flights will be available for sale on September 1, 2024, subject to securing regulatory approvals.
The agreement will significantly enhance both airlines' connectivity options, allowing customers to travel on a single ticket with luggage checked through to their final destination.
Icelandair passengers in North America and Iceland can connect eastbound through EK's network to Dubai, while EK passengers can connect westbound through FI's network to Iceland. Both airlines anticipate further developing and expanding this partnership in the future.
