PLAY airlines has taken its first flight to Toronto in Canada, marking the beginning of its daily flights from Toronto to Iceland and Europe.

Toronto is an important milestone for PLAY as it is their first destination in Canada and the fifth destination in North America.

An established US presence


With an established presence in the United States, operating daily flights from Boston, Baltimore, New York, and Washington DC, PLAY is expanding its reach to offer affordable and convenient travel options for passengers.

PLAY is an Icelandic low-cost airline that boasts a fleet of 10 Airbus A320/321neo aircraft. One notable feature of PLAY’s fleet is its youthfulness, with an average aircraft age of just around 2 years.

This modern fleet, combined with Iceland’s strategic location as a hub, enables PLAY to provide cost-effective flights between Europe and North America.

PLAY’s commitment to safety and reliability ensures that passengers not only enjoy affordable fares but also experience a secure and trustworthy journey.

Prior to its inaugural flight to Toronto, the carrier achieved an impressive On-Time Performance (OTP) rate of 88%. This reliability is a testament to the airline’s dedication to punctuality and customer satisfaction.
