Transatlantic flights will be the backbone of PLAY&#8217;s operations and it was a huge project to establish a connection on a new continent. But now we see the fruits of our labor, a well-done, reliable and ambitious flight plan. We already feel great interest from travelers and I am truly amazed to witness the resilience that my colleagues at PLAY possess. Thanks to them we can celebrate this milestone in our company&#8217;s history and look forward to exciting times ahead,&#8221; says Birgir J\u00f3nsson, CEO of PLAY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
