Remember when we said we were leaving London Stansted for Gatwick? Well, guess what.
We interrupt this blog for a short message that is mostly of interest to people with clear preferences about their London airports. If this does not apply to you we suggest you avert your eyes and maybe read this instead.
A few months ago, we announced that we were moving airports in London, from Stansted to Gatwick.
Well, a few lot of people had what you might call “strong feelings” about that. (We certainly got more comments on that particular blog post than on any of the semi-funny and clever stuff we break our backs writing.)
Turns out — who would have guessed? — that there are a lot of people north of London who also like to go to Iceland.
So, to quote an old Icelandic saying that nobody quite understands anymore: “What do farmers do then?”
Well, our Dear Leaders listened and they felt your pain.
So first we decided to open a route from Birmingham to Iceland next summer. People seemed to like that.
And now we’ve decided to go back to flying to and from London Stansted, twice a week, starting on 2 November 2009.
Note that we’ll still fly to Iceland from London Gatwick every day, so this just comes as an extra.
Thank you for reading and remember: nobody loves you, or your money, more than Iceland Express.

This is fantastic news. I had an amazing time in Iceland 18 months ago and hoped to go back, now I will. It’s so refreshing to see a company listen to its customers, so well done, I’m very impressed and grateful. Takk Takk!
Tres Cool. Now how about those Cardiff flights ?
I have booked a flight from Gatwick to Iceland for 17th.December coming back on the 5th.January. I would prefer to go from good old Stansted can I change and is it going to cost me an arm and a leg??!
This is fantastic news, I live in Bishops Stortford, which is close to Stansted airport and it is very convenient for me and for my many Icelandic relatives and Friends that live in Iceland.
Thank you! Thank you!Thank you! You are so kind! I am sooooo grateful for retaining the Stansted flight. Maybe I will come to search for northern lights.
I’ve never bumped into an official blog which is as funny as yours. Great job, folks
why has the stansted flights stopped yet again , if iceland express is not making money on the flight to and from stansted , then can someone tel iceland express to invest in a logistics manager , why not double up with the berlin flight , when passing over stansted, that way you will have a full flight everytime.. makes sense to stop and pick up more people at stansted as you pass over it … better to have a full plane than an empty one … hence you will make more money…. please dont stop stansted .. call me and i will help you get more clients flying from stansted ….
