Since its inception, Icelandair has played a leading
role in the development of tourism in Iceland. Today,
travel is Iceland's fastest-growing industry and is
one of the country's major sources of foreign cur-
rency earnings. This year promises to be one of the
best ever for Icelandic tourism.
Iceland has become a year-round destination,
attracting growing numbers of tourists from all over
the world, drawn by the dramatic nature that makes
Iceland unique. Spectacular landscapes depict
Iceland's geological history, born of volcanoes, gey-
sers, hot springs and glaciers – Fire and Ice – to cre-
ate scenic fields of lava, powerful waterfalls, mean-
dering rivers and magnificent sea cliffs. This vast,
unspoiled land is nature's playground and the ideal
setting for adventure.
Iceland is quickly becoming Europe's hottest destination, attracting not only the sea-
soned travellers who have been faithful to Icelandair throughout the decades, but also
the younger generations who seek a different kind of travel experience.
Every season offers its special brand of activities, including hiking, biking, horseback
riding, off-road driving, fly-fishing, whale watching, river rafting, snowmobiling, skiing
and Iceland's favourite pastime: swimming. The list is endless.
Iceland is the cornerstone of Icelandair's operations, which are in many ways unique
among international airlines. Apart from our role as a passenger carrier, we provide
comprehensive travel services to and from our home country, offering everything from
hotels and car rental to guided tours of Iceland's many attractions, in addition to inter-
national cargo and charter services.
With roots stretching back more than 65 years, Icelandair is proud of its position as one
of the world's longest-established airlines. Icelandair remains committed to continuing
our tradition of service for generations to come.
