Fun at the Beach
Icelandair’s staff and their families had a rip-
roaring time at the Nauthólsvík geothermal
beach on 17 August. All ages were enter-
tained by clowns and magicians, followed by
a delicious barbecue in the warm evening
sun, where executive officers and managers
flipped the steaks. Icelandair and STAFF,
Icelandair’s staff association join hands for
this family day out to maintain the great team
spirit characterising Icelandair employees.
Eyes in the Sky
The concept of in-flight entertainment took on a whole new meaning for Business Class pas-
sengers on Icelandair transatlantic flights to and from the USA and Canada on 16 August, when
the carrier became one of the world's first airlines to offer travellers the added luxury of a
personal in-flight DVD player, and a package of eight movies from which to choose.
The scheme, which comes as part of the company's ongoing policy of providing the best cus-
tomer service possible, offers passengers the opportunity of passing their time on board by
watching some of the hottest offerings in contemporary cinema.
The equipment provided includes a state-of-the-art Pioneer personal DVD player and stereo
headphones.
Icelandair CEO receives The Nordic Marketing Prize 2001

Icelandair CEO Sigurdur Helgason the Association’s gold medal for his
contribution to the marketing of Icelandair both in Europe and in the US.
In a press release from the Nordisk Marketsforbund it is stated that
under the strong leadership of Helgason, Icelandair has become a mar-
keting-oriented travel company which has transformed a whole sector of
the Icelandic economy. Helgason and his team have marketed Iceland with
amazing results. Notifiably, the number of tourists to the country has
doubled in only six years.
The Nordic Marketing Prize, first awarded in 1933, is the association’s
most distinguished recognition and is awarded every three years. It has a
very high reputation in the Nordic countries and is only awarded when
the representatives of all the marketing associations of the Nordic coun-
tries unanimously agree on the choice.
