BOEING 757-200 (Icelandair) BOEING 757-300 (Icelandair) The History of Icelandair THE HISTORY OF ICELANDAIR extends far back beyond its formation in 1973 by the merger of Flugfélag Íslands (Icelandair), estab- lished in 1937, and Loftleidir (Icelandic Airlines), founded in 1944. Its staff can draw on a vast experience of international air transport, dating from 1945 on European routes, and from 1952 in the North American skyways. FLUGFÉLAG ÍSLANDS operated an exten- sive routes system within Iceland, and served destinations in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Scotland and England as well. The first interna- tional passenger flight was made on 11 July 1945 when a Catalina seaplane took off from Reykjavík and landed in Largs Bay in Scotland. LOFTLEIDIR ceased domestic flying in 1952, concentrating instead on international services to countries on both sides of the Atlantic and earning worldwide recognition as a pioneer of low fares on its transatlantic routes.Transatlantic passengers were soon offered the option of stopping over for a day or more in Iceland. To meet demand for this popular innovation, the airline built Hótel Loftleidir in Reykjavík and later set up a car rental service. Today, Icelandair Hotels, a sister company of Icelandair, operates seven first-class, year-round hotels located across Iceland.Two of them, Nordica Hotel and Hotel Loftleidir, are in Reykjavík; the other hotels are in Keflavík, Selfoss, Flúdir, Kirkjubæjar- klaustur, Rangá and Egilsstadir. Icelandair Hotels also runs the Edda Summer Hotel Chain. Icelandair Hertz Car Rental, another Icelandair sister company, operates the Icelandair/Hertz car rental today. Icelandair introduced a new generation of Boeing jets over the period 1989–1993.A brand new Boeing 757-300 was delivered to Icelandair in March 2002, Now the company operates 12 Boeing 757-200/300.Today, Icelandair’s route net- work of 16 international destinations includes five North American and 11 European gateways. Icelandair’s route network is based on a hub-and- spoke system with Keflavík International Airport as the nerve centre. Flights departing from five North American cities arrive in Iceland 60–90 minutes before departures to 14 destinations in Scandinavia, the UK and Central Europe.The pro- cedure is reversed in the afternoon, with flights arriving from Europe at Keflavík International shortly before the Icelandair fleet takes off for North America. In 2002, Icelandair carried a total of 1,198,524 passengers. Air Iceland is an Icelandair sister company oper- ating domestic flights and flights to the Faroe Islands and Greenland. In 2002, Air Iceland car- ried a total of 259,193 passengers.
