Airline Information

Quick facts about Icelandair

Chi siamo Icelandair

Icelandair (IATA: FI, ICAO: ICE) is an IS airline.

Icelandair is Iceland's flag carrier and one of the most innovative airlines in transatlantic aviation. By positioning Reykjavik's Keflavik Airport as a natural midpoint stopover between North America and Europe, Icelandair transformed Iceland into one of Europe's fastest-growing tourism destinations. The airline's Stopover programme allows passengers to visit Iceland for free on transatlantic bookings.

Did you know? Icelandair has offered free stopovers in Iceland of up to 7 nights on transatlantic tickets since the 1970s — a model that turned a geographic inconvenience into Iceland's most effective tourism marketing strategy.
