Icelandair is On Time
The management of Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam has announced that
Icelandair is the most punctual airline to have used the airport in the year
2000. The Airport is one of the biggest international airports in all of
Europe, servicing most of the world’s leading airlines.
Using exact calculations for actual departure/arrival times, as opposed to
estimated times, for all flights in the year 2000, Airport Management was
able to determine which airline had the highest on-time accuracy.
Icelandair received this award for the year 2000, thanks to an 86 per cent
on-time arrival/departure record.The airline’s overall goal for punctuality is
for all flights to arrive or depart within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.
The results are quite an achievement, since in the year 2000 the average
record for punctuality at Schiphol Airport was calculated at 64 per cent.
Icelandair has always placed great emphasis on punctuality, and considers it
one of its core values, which can clearly be seen when comparing its on-
time record with the overall percentage at Schiphol.
Icelandair flies seven times a week between Amsterdam during the sum-
mer, and five times a week during the winter months.
Icelandair in Hall of Fame
The January–February 2001 issue of Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel magazine (subtitled Vacations for
real people) has just included Icelandair in its Hall of Fame!
The magazine states: “Honoring the people who produce affordable vacations for cost-conscious
Americans, we induct five more travel organizations into our pantheon of heroes.” It describes
Icelandair as follows:“A pioneer since the 1970s in hauling backpackers and other impecunious travel-
ers across the Atlantic at dirt-cheap prices. Services not only Reykjavik but also Glasgow, London,
Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen. Its rates are almost always the lowest.”
It lists 30 previous inductees; the only other airline listed is Southwest.
This is one of the most respected and widely read travel magazines in the US, published bimonthly with
a national circulation of 350,000.
and access to Icelandair’s luxurious departure lounges.
