Dublin Airport has welcomed the launch of PLAY’s new service between Dublin and Reykjavik, following the take-off of the inaugural flight on the route this morning.

PLAY, Iceland’s new bright red, low-cost airline took off from Dublin airport shortly after 10.00 am this morning, offering passengers affordable travel to the land of ice and fire. PLAY will operate the service up to four times per week.

The roots between Icelanders and the Irish are strong and flying from Iceland to Dublin takes around two and a half hours.

The addition of connectivity from Dublin opens a new direct route to Iceland with PLAY offering affordable flights to this dreamlike destination in the north. Iceland has much to offer, including brand-new lava fields, otherworldly landscapes, glaciers and waterfalls, all accessible from the modern-day capital city of Reykjavik.

PLAY is a new low-cost airline operating flights between Iceland and Europe. The Icelandic airline is based in Reykjavik’s Keflavik International Airport and started operations in June 2021. PLAY operates three new Airbus A320 neo aircraft.
