On Wednesday (December 18, 2025), Icelandair announced the signing of a new codeshare agreement with Italian flag carrier ITA Airways. Under the agreement customers of both airlines will now be able to book seamless travel itineraries across both carriers’ networks for travel starting January 20, 2025.
