Leeds Bradford Airport announces new route to North Iceland

Leeds Bradford Airport has announced the launch of a new direct route to Akureyri in North Iceland.

The airport is among the first in the country to fly direct to Akureyri, with flights available exclusively with Super Break.

All Super Break trips to Akureyri include a Lake Myvatn Adventure – Land of Fire and Ice Tour, which includes the chance to see the region’s many terrains, the Goddafoss Waterfall, the boiling mud pools of Namafjall and a stop at Vogafjos working farm.

There is also the opportunity to visit Myvatn Nature Baths – the ‘Blue Lagoon of the North’ or take part in a Snowmobiling Experience.

The inaugural flights are set to take off in February 2018 from Leeds Bradford Airport.

Emma Holliday, aviation sales manager at LBA, said: “We’re really pleased that Super Break are adding this fantastic package to our Winter programme for 2018.

“This trip will be such a special opportunity for holidaymakers from across Yorkshire to explore an amazing part of the world.

“We’re sure it’ll be a popular choice for people wanting a short break with a difference and we look forward to welcoming people in February as they depart for Akureyri – a brand new destination for LBA.”

Katherine Scott from Super Break added: “At Super Break we take pride in selecting the very best travel experiences for UK holidaymakers to enjoy during a short break.

“We’ve pulled out all the stops to deliver our customers with the first ever flights to Iceland’s Arctic North, chartering our first Super Break aircraft to provide British bookers with direct access to this incredible destination.

“From lava walks to some of the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights, adventure really does await those heading to Akureyri.”

Inga Hlín Pálsdóttir, director of Visit Iceland, also commented: “We are very excited about the introduction of these direct flights to Akureyri.

“Iceland and its different regions are exciting to explore, especially during the wintertime. The North of Iceland has everything from breathtaking nature, rich cultural life and fantastic restaurants and accommodation options so holidaymakers can look forward to an epic experience, whatever their interests.”
