Icelandair 767 aircraft begin flying. Icelandair focuses on providing transatlantic flights that are operated through the airlines hub in Reykjavik, Iceland. The airline had focused on a single aircraft type to help streamline its costs for maintenance and training. This model had been perfected by Southwest Airlines in the US domestic market. Icelandair used the same model, but with the Boeing 757 aircraft to meet their longer flight range requirements. The Boeing 757 aircraft that are in service have become in very high demand due to their size and range capabilities. This caused the airline to look for other aircraft options in order to expand.
Icelandair 767 fleet to grow from 2 to 4 planes
The first of the two previously announced Boeing 767 aircraft is now flying. The second will begin scheduled service on May 15, 2016. The airline just announced that it will add 2 additional Boeing 767 aircraft to its fleet for next summer. The newly acquired aircraft have been retrofitted by Icelandair with in-flight entertainment systems, mood lighting, new seats, and WiFi. The 767 aircraft will be used on routes between Boston, Chicago, and New York (JFK) and Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and London (Heathrow). The Icelandair 767 aircraft have been fitted with 262 seats, which represents a 44% increase in seating capacity over the airlines 757 aircraft. The Icelandair fleet is currently comprised of 26 Boeing 757’s and 2 Boeing 767’s. Icelandair had agreed to purchase 4 new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, but transferred the purchase rights on 3 of those aircraft to Norwegian Airlines. The airline will presumably transfer the purchase right to its fourth 787 on order as well.
Icelandair currently flies to the US cities of Anchorage, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York (JFK & Newark), Orlando, Portland, Seattle, and Washington (Dulles). The airline also serves the Canadian cities of Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. More information about Icelandair’s fleet can be viewed at www.icelandair.com
