About Icelandair
Icelandair (ICAO: ICE) is the flag carrier of Iceland, renowned for its transatlantic operations and its unique stopover program.
Icelandair traces its origins back to Flugfélag Akureyrar, founded in 1937 in northern Iceland. The airline later relocated to Reykjavík and was renamed Flugfélag Íslands. In 1973, it merged with Loftleiðir Icelandic Airlines under a new holding company, Flugleiðir, which officially adopted Icelandair as its international trade name in 1979.
The airline's main operational base and hub is Keflavík International Airport (KEF), with a secondary domestic hub located at Reykjavík Airport (RKV). As of November 2025, Icelandair operates a diverse fleet including Airbus A321LR, Boeing 737 MAX 8, Boeing 737 MAX 9, Boeing 757-200, Boeing 767-300ER, De Havilland Dash 8-Q200, and De Havilland Dash 8-Q400 aircraft. There are ongoing plans to phase out its Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft by 2026 and introduce new Airbus A321XLR aircraft into its fleet starting in 2029.
Icelandair leverages Iceland's strategic geographical location to operate a transatlantic hub-and-spoke network, connecting over 60 destinations across North America and Europe via its Icelandic hub. Additionally, it provides domestic flights within Iceland and services to Greenland and the Faroe Islands. While Icelandair is not a member of any major global airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld, it maintains extensive codeshare and interline agreements with over 70 partner airlines, including Alaska Airlines, JetBlue, Emirates, Finnair, SAS, British Airways, TAP Air Portugal, and Southwest Airlines, to broaden its network and offer more travel options. The airline offers various cabin classes: Economy Light, Economy Standard, Economy Flex, Saga Premium, and Saga Premium Flex. Saga Premium is its premium cabin, featuring spacious seating, complimentary gourmet meals, alcoholic beverages, Wi-Fi access, lounge access, and priority services. A highly regarded service is the Icelandair Stopover program, which allows passengers to include a complimentary stopover in Iceland for up to seven days during their transatlantic journey.
