No mention of RDU. Articles says Icelandair will offer service from MIA, MCO and IAH.

I tried a few random dates for June ‘22 on their website and hit on two nonstops. As has probably been noted, there will be only four RDU N/S flights per week, with connections on JetBlue through BOS on the others.

The RDU route has been extended from October 2022 until January 2023. FI's own website and ExpertFlyer shows the flights running until the first week of January.
There is a news article stating the flights will run until January 23rd, but it's possible that the news site interpreted the "January 23" information in whatever communication FI put out as a date, not January 2023.
The previously communicated plan is to resume the route in May 2023 together with other seasonal routes.

The article has been updated to show January 7th as the end date, which is what FI’s website already showed.

I haven’t taken this flight yet but I did see RDU on the departure board for tonight. I’ll be taking FI to ORD tonight since RDU was a bit too late to connect to the West coast.
