Only three months after starting flights from Luxembourg to Reykjavik with onward flights to New York, the low-cost airline Iceland Express is pulling the plug on Findel Airport.
Fights will now continue only from Frankfurt-Hahn airport in Germany.
The company began a test phase that started on 1 June, being one of the first low-cost carriers to attempt using Luxembourg Airport. Their weekly Luxembourg to Reykjavik flights carried about 100 passengers per flight.
Luxembourg's Findel Airport stood little chance against the cost of Hahn Airport for Iceland Express as a low-cost carrier.
The more attractive German market, costs, and the fact that Hahn is not that far from Luxembourg were all crucial factors that played a part in the departure of the Icelandic airline from the Grand Duchy.
