The return journey from the Icelandic capital will also stop at Manchester Airport, before continuing to Glasgow.

Amanda McMillan, managing director of the Scottish hub, commented: "We are delighted to welcome Icelandair back to Glasgow Airport, with a new schedule that not only offers convenient city breaks to Reykjavik, but also provides improved connections to the United States."

Hjorvar Saeberg Hognason, Icelandair UK general manager, added: "We are thrilled to be able to serve the Scottish community once again with our service from Glasgow."

The carrier is more than 70 years old, having first operated under the name Flugfelag Islands, its website notes.
