Read Time:49 Second
Southwest Airlines and Icelandair entered into a partnership to extend each other’s reach through BWI Marshall Airport starting in 2025.
Southwest, which uses Baltimore-Washington International as a hub, and Icelandair, which offers flights from there to Europe via Reykjavik, announced the memorandum of understanding Thursday.
The agreement allows customers of both airlines to easily interconnect flights between the two. BWI will be the partnership’s “initial North American gateway,” with more destinations to follow, according to a news release.
Icelandair’s network includes five airports in Iceland, several in Greenland and 34 destinations in Europe, including Barcelona, London, Paris, Rome and Stockholm.
Ryan Green, Southwest’s executive vice president of commercial transformation, said in the release that the partnership enables “Southwest to further our global reach beyond the nearly 120 destinations we serve in North America.”
The Dallas-based airline has been slowly expanding its international reach, primarily with a focus on the Caribbean and Central and South America.
