How is it possible to fly a transatlantic flight from Iceland? Doesn't a transatlantic flight have to cross the Atlantic?


 * The bulk of Icelandair's passengers do cross the Atlantic, using Iceland only as a stopover.


 * Technically a flight from Iceland to Greenland would be considerd trans-atlantic.
 * That's what I was thinking, aren't all flights to and from Iceland trans-atlatic? They do cross the Atlatic at least... --Bjarki 16:30, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Trans atlantic does imply that the entire Atlantic ocean is crossed which is certainly noth the case in these instances. Crossing the Atlantic is a more borderline case.

Logo?
Why is the official logo constantly reverted to the current one?

Because this is their offical logo just go to www.icelandair.com (.net .is .co.uk ect.)


 * The current logo in the article is the one that can be found in the publicity material section of their website. The one with the blue background is also there but that's for Icelandair Group which is the parent company of Icelandair. --Bjarki 16:11, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * To sum up the logo with the blue background is not available on their website. There is only a similar logo for The parent company of Icelandair (icelandair group). This means that Icelandair does not want that logo to be used but rather the one with the white background. Just look for yourself and see what logo is available under 'Icelandair Logo' on their website. http://www.icelandair.com/home/support-navigation/about-us/press-center/photo-gallery/


 * Both the blue logo and the white logo are to be found on the official Icelandair websit here Dbertman 16:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Possibly incorrect assumption?
The history section states A large portion of the air traffic between the United States to Europe flies over Iceland making the island a transfer point for people travelling between the U.S. to Europe and vice versa. This accounts for much of the company's passenger traffic. This may be an incorrect assumption or it may be correct. I read in an aviation magazine that Icelanders travel frequently, more than Americans and most Europeans. As a result, a lot of the traffic is O&D, not connecting traffic between the US and Europe.

Evidence in favor of this is

1. Dropping LUX from the routes as LUX passengers had a lot of returning American passengers, which declined percentage-wise compared to systemwide.

2. BA subsidiary Go started Stansted to Keflavik service which wouldn't have been started if the Iceland market was small (and if flights filled were mainly Americans and Britons going to the US as Go flights did not interline with FI) 3. Personal observation (original research) where a lot of the passengers on a FI flight were not Americans, but Icelandic.

Evidence in favor that the bulk of traffic is connecting traffic. 1. Seems logical as KEF is between Europe and the US. Also FI did carry a fair amount of connecting traffic. Archtrain 18:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Alliances?
Former Star Alliance or just local SAS partner? None now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.237.142.7 (talk) 14:23, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

New version of the article
Hi guys, I think the article should be improved by some points, mainly: There is a page in my userspace with my proposal for the new version of the Icelandair article (when I moved it to mainspace, it was reverted by User:Pontuskóngur), which is why I open the discussion here). Any thoughts? --AdAstra reloaded (talk) 11:23, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The content about pre-merger Loftleiðir should be covered there and removed from the Icelandair article.
 * The section about the volcano eruptions is too detailed (covering the event in general) and should be shortened.
 * update: According to User:Pontuskóngur, the only thing in question here is the Loftleiðir part, for which I started a merger discussion here. Apart of that, I have reinstated my changes to Icelandair. --AdAstra reloaded (talk) 09:16, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

BOB menus
According to the BOB menus, one can use Icelandic money, euros, or Icelandair points to pay for stuff. Non-alcoholic drinks are free, but food is NOT unless it's economy plus. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:37, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Vickers Viscount
The retirement date for the Vickers Viscount must be wrong. I was flying as a passenger in the the viscount for many years and I am born 1953. I change it to 1970. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jochum (talk • contribs) 17:25, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Seaplanes
I have a napkin from Icelandair commemorating 80 years of its existence. On it is printed: "When we started in 1937 our very first aircraft was a seaplane. It had to be – Iceland didn't get an airport until 1946." Now this could be read to imply: With the worldwide dominance of flying boats on commercial long distance flights in the period between the World Wars this is highly probable. And if true, some note to reflect this should be included in the article between the mentioning of the route to Largs and the service with Liberators to Prestwick. (Bonus points if someone can add where Reykjavik's Seaplane Terminal was located) --BjKa (talk) 15:23, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) All flights to Iceland had to be made with seaplanes until 1946.
 * 2) Until 1946 Icelandair only used seaplanes.
