Icelandair discontinues direct flights between Hamburg and Reykjavik
Icelandair has announced the discontinuation of its direct flights between Hamburg Airport and Reykjavik, effective from October 25, 2025. This decision leaves Hamburg without a second airline on the Iceland route.
The withdrawal of Reykjavik as a direct destination from Hamburg Airport's schedule has been confirmed by a spokesperson. The reason for the discontinuation of the route is insufficient demand, possibly due to Iceland's high costs deterring potential visitors.
In recent years, Iceland has become one of the most expensive travel destinations in Europe. This high cost may be impacting booking numbers for travel to the country, as reported by the Hamburg Abendblatt.
The discontinuation of these flights may impact travel options for people wanting to visit Iceland from Hamburg. In the past, various carriers had temporarily included Hamburg in their networks, but later removed the connections from their schedules.
It is not specified in the provided text why the demand for the Hamburg-Reykjavik route is insufficient. However, the high costs in Iceland may be a contributing factor.
The Hamburg Abendblatt reported on the discontinuation of flights between Hamburg Airport and Reykjavik, highlighting that Iceland, despite being an attractive holiday destination for German travelers, is seeing a decline in visitor numbers due to rising costs on the island.
This decision by Icelandair means Hamburg is losing its second airline on the Iceland route, which could potentially limit travel options for those wanting to visit Iceland from Hamburg. The final flight between Hamburg Airport and Reykjavik is scheduled for October 25.
