Humberside Airport set to launch additional flights to Northern Iceland in 2018

Super Break, the York-based holiday company, has announced additional flights to Akureryri in Northern Iceland from Humberside airport.

This announcement comes after Super Break’s exclusive Arctic experience packages sold out in just one month from the airport.

Due to the response from holidaymakers for its inaugural trip in January 2018, the company has chartered an additional flight which will depart on 16th February 2018.

Each of the Super Break trips to Akureyri include a tour to see the Northern Lights, a Lake Myvatn Adventure – Land of Fire and Ice Tour, which includes 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.

Humberside Airport is one of the first airports in the country to fly direct to the city and is the first airport in the UK to release additional flights to the destination.

Katherine Scott from Super Break said: “We have been thrilled with the popularity of our ‘Incredible Iceland’ package. Only three seats remain on the first trip we launched from Humberside Airport, so we wanted to add an extra date to satisfy demand in the area.

“At Super Break we take pride in selecting the very best travel experiences for UK holidaymakers to enjoy during a short break and pulled out all the stops to deliver our customers with the first ever flights to Iceland’s Arctic North.

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

Deborah Zost, managing director of Humberside Airport, added: “We are delighted Super Break has added a second charter package to Iceland from Humberside Airport.

“This exciting destination has proved to be so popular the first trip is now full and we warmly welcome the opportunity for additional local passengers to experience this stunning country in February.

“The three-night ‘Incredible Iceland’ package will depart on February 16, flying direct to Akureyri in North Iceland - the ideal area for seeing the spectacular Northern Lights.”
