American adds Iceland flights as competition surges
American will begin flying to Iceland, becoming the last of the “big three” carriers to add service to the nation. American’s service will begin June 7, when it launches daily non-stop service from Dallas/Fort Worth to Reykjavik. This adds to a flood of new flight options to the European island nation recently. It also could suggest that the big US airlines are pushing back against the dozens of new routes that Icelandic carriers have added here in recent years. Delta began flying to Reykjavik in 2011, while earlier this year United became the second US carrier to announce service to Iceland. WOW Air, an upstart Icelandic LCC, flies to Iceland from 14 US cities with cut-rate fares as low as $69 one-way. Icelandair has pushed back with its own US expansion, with some routes directly overlapping those of WOW.<br/>
