The Loftbrú scheme covers the Westfjords, part of Northwest Iceland, Northeast Iceland, East Iceland, Hornafjörður and the Westman Islands. The area is demarcated according to postal codes. In total, the Loftbrú discount terms cover more than 60,000 residents in these areas.
Children who are legally domiciled in the capital area but have a parent or guardian who is legally domiciled in a rural area are eligible for Loftbrú discounts.
These discounts should be enjoyed by all those who travel to the capital area for central services and leisure and want to visit relatives and friends. The objective of the initiative is to level the playing field for the population and strengthen the country’s rural areas by making domestic flights more affordable. Loftbrú is intended for people who travel to the capital for personal matters, but not for work or traditional business trips.
After a change in the registration of legal domicile, 30 days elapse until the right to Loftbrú becomes active.
