Direct flight service from Delhi to Iceland to start from December 7

Starting December 7, 2018, Wow Air, Iceland's budget transatlantic air carrier, will begin its direct flight service to link Delhi and Reykjavik.
According to news reports, the Ambassador of Iceland to India, Thorir Ibsen, spoke at an event held in Delhi recently. He said that tourism is a major area of focus for Iceland, and the headcount of Indian nationals landing in Iceland is on the rise. So, apparently, the country wants to support the positive development by providing a direct link to Indians to visit Iceland.
"India and Iceland have good diplomatic ties for the last several years. India is not a conventional traditional market for us. But there are several areas like biotech, IT, renewable energy, where we want to go for in India in future," Ibsen noted.
"So, I am happy to share that the direct flight service from Delhi to Iceland will start from December, and the first flight will be on December 7," shared Ibsen.

The direct flight facility will be provided by Wow Air, a budget carrier connecting the US, and European countries.

"There will be five flights a week. The flight time between Delhi and Reykjavik would be 11 hours," said Ibsen.
Wow Air had in fact declared in May the introduction of its flight services connecting Delhi and several cities in Europe via Reykjavik in Iceland and North America.

According to news reports, the airline had an introductory basic ticket fare of INR 13,499 to the Keflavik airport in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, and from Reykjavik to cities across North America and Europe.

The airline will offer the ‘Wow Basic’ scheme which would include the taxes in its one-way ticket price. However, there will be separate charges for the in-flight meal, and check-in baggage.
Wow Air has its operations in 39 destinations throughout Europe and North America such as Paris, New York, London, Toronto, Baltimore, Chicago, and San Francisco. The air carrier will now be operating Airbus A330neo to India from Iceland.
