PLAY new routes

• Aalborg (AAL): 2 weekly flights as of June 10th
• Aarhus (AAR): 2 flights a week as of June 12th
• Billund (BLL): 2 flights a week as of June 15th
• Dusseldorf (DUS): 2 flights a week as of June the 8th

These four routes will be operated with Airbus A320neo aircraft configured for 186 passengers.

“We have long dreamed of reaching the large number of Icelanders living in Denmark, and with these three new destinations we believe this will greatly improve our services. With these additions to the network, PLAY will have six destinations in Scandinavia next summer; two in Sweden and four in Denmark. These three new destinations in Denmark are really exciting – not only am I convinced that Icelanders will use these routes a lot, but also those who want to connect to North America in a cheap and convenient way. At the same time, it has rarely been cheaper for Icelanders to travel to Denmark and enjoy the Danish summer or visit relatives – half of the Icelanders in Denmark live in the western part of the country. These are truly great news for a big group of people,” says Birgir Jónsson, CEO of PLAY.
