Iceland’s Play will link the city with capital Reykjavik where it offers flights to New York, Boston and Washington.
Play will operate the route twice a week on Mondays and Fridays using brand new 180-seat Airbus A320neo aircraft.
The inaugural flight to Liverpool saw a group of Icelandic Everton take advantage of the new route to catch their side’s game against Manchester United at the weekend.
And they were greeted at Liverpool’s John Lennon airport Everton player Nathan Patterson, as well as a traditional water cannon shower courtesy of the airport’s fire and rescue service.
