Icelandair becomes easyJet Worldwide partner

Icelandair is set to become a new airline partner in easyJet's unique connections service, Worldwide by easyJet. The partnership with Icelandair is expected to go live in the coming weeks including at its major European airports Paris Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam Schiphol, with the service due to go live at other airports in the coming months.

From then, easyJet customers will be able to seamlessly connect between easyJet flights across its European network and onwards on Icelandair flights to destinations across Icelandair's extensive network in Europe and North America.

This latest addition to the Worldwide by easyJet service follows confirmation last week that existing partner Emirates will commence connections through Worldwide by easyJet at Milan Malpensa airport, following its initial launch at London Gatwick.

Worldwide by easyJet has been consistently growing, with more than 5,000 unique origins and destinations which have been booked in combination with partner airlines.

Worldwide by easyJet is now live with 17 partners: Air Transat, Aurigny, Blue air, Corsair, La Compagnie, Emirates, China Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Etihad, Loganair, Norwegian, Neos, Scoot, Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, WestJet and now Icelandair.
