Travel for this new route will be facilitated through Frankfurt Airport, only 20 minutes away from the city that is best known for its unique art scene, history, museums, dashing skyscrapers and inviting neighborhoods.
“We are delighted to be able to add more destinations to our transatlantic route network at a time when demand in North America for flights to Europe is high,” said Birgir Jónsson, CEO, PLAY. “Revenues from passengers coming from North America are much higher than before, making it a great time to add Frankfurt as a destination.
