Air China to Launch Beijing–Copenhagen–Reykjavik Route in 2026

Air China will launch a new flight route on October 26, 2026. The flight connects Beijing, Copenhagen Airport, and Reykjavik Keflavík. Flights will run three times every week. The airline will operate this service using Airbus A330-300 aircraft.

• Route: Beijing Capital – Copenhagen Airport – Reykjavik Keflavík
• Start Date: October 26, 2026
• Frequency: 3 flights per week
• Aircraft: Airbus A330-300
• Local Booking: Fifth-freedom rights allow CPH–KEF direct travel

The airline secured fifth-freedom traffic rights on the Copenhagen–Reykjavik leg. This means passengers can book tickets solely between Denmark and Iceland. You do not need to travel to or from Beijing to use this segment.

For Chinese residents and students in Copenhagen, this route adds seat capacity to Beijing. It gives more flexibility when booking flights home or receiving visitors. Copenhagen Airport is easily accessible via the M2 metro line or regional trains from Copenhagen Central Station.

Iceland and Denmark are both in the Schengen Area. Chinese expats with valid Danish residence permits can travel to Iceland without additional visas. The new route provides another direct carrier option for local holidays.
