Smartwings is preparing multiple charter flights from Iceland to continental Europe in October 2026 and again in spring 2027, with Akureyri among the regional airports involved. The programme links the Icelandic market with destinations including Gdańsk, Prague, Split and Vilnius, and places Split in both the autumn and spring schedules.
The routing points to a seasonal expansion focused on leisure and charter demand rather than scheduled network growth. Akureyri is the only Icelandic airport identified in the available material, while a second regional airport is also part of the plan but not confirmed in the accessible report. The services are aimed at connecting Iceland’s regional traffic with Central and Southern European holiday markets during periods of stronger outbound demand.
The schedule is forward-looking and does not indicate an operational change to existing services. It also provides another sign of how carriers are using charter flying to build short-term capacity on routes that can be adjusted around seasonal demand patterns.
