What they said
Birgir Jonsson, the CEO of PLAY, said: “There are many links between Poland and Iceland. What's more, a lot of Poles live in Iceland. Icelanders who travelled to Poland for tourism, whom I’ve talked to, have very fond memories. Therefore, Warsaw is a good addition to our route network.”
