Air China is launching fifth-freedom service to Iceland, becoming the first Asian carrier to serve the country. Effective October 26, 2026, the airline will operate 3x weekly flights on an Airbus A330-300 featuring 30 flat-bed business class seats in a 2-2-2 configuration. The route connects Beijing (PEK) to Copenhagen (CPH) to Keflavik (KEF). Passengers can book the Copenhagen-to-Keflavik segment independently. The schedule includes CA807 (PEK-CPH-KEF) and CA808 (KEF-CPH-PEK). This offers a new year-round flat-bed option for travelers flying between Europe and Iceland
