Icelandair officially one of Europe’s most reliable airlines
Icelandair ranked highly in the new Association of European Airlines (AEA) consumer report. According to the report, Iceland’s oldest and largest airline was the only European airline not to cancel a single flight between November 2008 and this March.
Icelandair was found to be the second most punctual European airline on long haul routes and the third most punctual on short and medium haul routes – an important statistic for an airline that serves so many of its passengers with short stopovers at its hub airport as they fly between Europe and North America.
Keflavik International Airport a hub of cheap duty free shopping
Natural splendour, culture, exotic activities and great food is the preferred choice of modern international travellers. Iceland offers all this plus shopping at really low prices with a fabulous exchange rate this season.
The national gateway, Keflavik International Airport, tops your experience with a variety of tax free shopping opportunities for the latest fashion brands, luxury foods, design ware, electronics, souvenirs, outdoor clothing and jewellery at extremely convenient prices.
Icelandair commences flights to Stavanger in Norway
Icelandair, the airline connecting Europe and North America through Iceland, began its new Stavanger to Reykjavik route today. This means Stavanger now has good value and easy connections to seven top cities in the USA and Canada – as well as to Iceland itself.
Today, Icelandair began its new twice-weekly flights to Stavanger from Reykjavik. To celebrate the event, the Mayor of Stavanger, Leif Johan Sevland and the Director of Stavanger Airport, Leif Lorintzen welcomed Birkir Holm Gudnason, Icelandair CEO, and other passengers at a reception ceremony in Stavanger.
Icelandair operates a daily service to the Norwegian capital, Oslo, and has dome for many years. The airline also started flights to Bergen on the west coast of Norway two years ago. This summer there will be daily flights from Oslo, four times a week from Bergen and two times a week from Stavanger.
“The Icelandair business idea is to use the geographical location of Iceland between North America and Northern Europe for profitable airline operations,” Icelandair CEO Birkir Holm Gudnason says, pointing out the potential of the increased services to Norway.
“These west Norwegian communities, Bergen and Stavanger, each have a similar population to Iceland, they have strong economies and highly developed tourism, especially in the cruise business. There are also strong historical and social ties between Iceland and this area, and a large number of Icelanders live there. This fits our model and strategy. We are confident that we can build up a very convenient service with sales in all our markets – in North America, in Iceland and in Norway. Icelandair can now offer quite superior connections to and from the region and North America,” he continued.
Icelandair is Iceland’s biggest airline and offers passengers flights between 18 European cities and Iceland – with quick and convenient connections on to North America. The airline even offers travellers the chance to stay in Iceland for a few days at no extra cost.
Icelandair’s newly redesigned planes offer a high tech and comfortable twist to the North Atlantic’s best value airline.

Icelandair unveils new look website
Icelandair, Iceland’s biggest airline has launched its new and improved website to help travellers make the most of Iceland and Icelandair.
The oldest and largest Icelandic airline, Icelandair has spent much of 2008 totally overhauling its services. Icelandair planes now have a chic new look, featuring leather seats and seat-back entertainment screens, as well as a variety of little Icelandic touches, inspired by the country’s nature and culture.
New services mean that passengers can now check in for flights at self-service kiosks in the airport, or even using internet enabled mobile phones. And now, the airline has unveiled a fresh new website design and easier navigation as well.
Icelandair.com has now become Icelandair’s international homepage, with Icelandair.us and Icelandair.ca as the new national homepages for the USA and Canada.
The websites features a clean new style and easy navigation to help visitors access the information the need with as little effort as possible. The website is inspired by clear blue skies, and tries to appear bright and uncluttered. All unnecessary features have been hidden in order to make the homepage a pleasant and welcoming introduction to Icelandair – a feeling Icelandair is keen to maintain at all stages of its dealings with customers.
Icelandair connects Reykjavik with 23 of the biggest destinations in Europe and North America and flights to Iceland are great value for those interested in winter breaks in beautiful Iceland: the Land of Fire and Ice.
In addition to this, Icelandair has consistently always offered some of the cheapest transatlantic flights, using Iceland as a convenient stopover – with or without a few days to explore Iceland at no extra cost.
The weakened Icelandic krona now also means that Iceland has become a much cheaper place to visit. Foreigners are now visiting Reykjavik on shopping trips, taking advantage of the ability to spend dollars, euros and pounds.

Times are changing at Iceland Express: greener planes and pastures new
Icelandic budget airline Iceland Express has announced the introduction of two fuel-efficient Boeing aircraft to its service, as well as flights to London Gatwick from spring 2009.
Iceland Express has announced changes to its upcoming winter timetable, which includes a delay in the introduction of the low cost airline’s new five-times-weekly service connecting Reykjavik and London Gatwick.
Birna Gudmundsdottir, marketing manager for Iceland Express, said: “We have decided to move the launch of this exciting new service to the spring as it is the peak travel season for Iceland. While the number of bookings has never been higher for Iceland Express, we do not want the current increase in fuel costs to impact on the ticket prices for our customers”.
The low cost flights to Iceland from Gatwick will be in addition to Iceland Express’s popular daily service from Stansted, which will continue as usual.
“We have wanted to expand into Gatwick for some time and the decision by British Airways to suspend its services to Reykjavik earlier this year means that the time is now right to do so,” Gudmundsdottir said this spring. The time of the launch may now have changed, but the sentiment has not.
“Iceland Express is remaining cautious in the current uncertain economic climate, while continuing to deliver the best possible service at the best possible price. Iceland Express is a budget airline and we want to ensure it stays that way.”
The Icelandic budget airline also announced recently that it will be introducing two Boeing 737-700s from September. The aircraft are more environmentally-friendly and will result in up to a 40 percent reduction in fuel costs for Iceland Express.
Launched in 2003, Iceland Express is Iceland's low-fare airline connecting the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik with 14 airports in Europe: Copenhagen, London, Alicante, Basel, Berlin, Billund, Eindhoven, Frankfurt Hahn, Friedrichshafen, Gothenburg, Paris, Stockholm, Barcelona and Warsaw.
