Icelandair

Icelandair, founded in 1937 as Flugfelag Islands and headquartered in Reykjavik, is the flag carrier of Iceland. The airline operates its hub at Keflavik International Airport, strategically positioned on the great circle route between North America and Northern Europe. Icelandair's fleet consists of Boeing 737 MAX 8, Boeing 737 MAX 9, and Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. The airline's cabin products include Saga Premium business class on wide-body aircraft with lie-flat seats, Saga Premium Flex on narrow-body routes, Economy Comfort with additional legroom, and Economy. Icelandair's primary commercial strategy centers on its Stopover program, which allows transatlantic passengers to stop in Iceland for up to seven days at no additional airfare, encouraging tourism to Iceland while leveraging the airline's geographic position. The Saga Club loyalty program offers points earning and redemption with tiered membership levels. Icelandair does not belong to any global airline alliance. The airline operates a seasonal and year-round transatlantic network connecting destinations in the northeastern United States and Canada with cities across Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe. Icelandair played a significant role in Iceland's tourism boom of the 2010s, with the Stopover program becoming a model for airlines seeking to boost tourism through transit traffic. The Icelandair Group also operates Iceland Travel and other tourism-related businesses. The airline's compact hub at Keflavik enables efficient minimum connection times for transatlantic transfer passengers.
