Niceair, the short-lived northern Icelandic airline that ceased operations in 2023, may soon return to the skies. A German entrepreneur is reportedly preparing to revive the carrier, with the first commercial flights targeted for February 2026.
A press conference is scheduled in Akureyri next week to outline the relaunch strategy. While details remain limited, the initiative marks the first concrete development since the airline entered bankruptcy nearly two years ago.
Niceair originally launched in June 2022 with ambitions to connect Akureyri to international destinations including Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Spain. The airline operated for less than a year before shutting down in April 2023, leaving no recoverable assets and ISK 184 million in unresolved claims, according to the bankruptcy estate.
If successful, the revival could restore direct international connectivity to North Iceland—an objective long supported by regional stakeholders seeking to develop tourism and business links. More information is expected during the upcoming announcement in Akureyri.
