Icelandair

Icelandair is the flag carrier airline of Iceland, based in Reykjavík. It is part of the Icelandair Group and operates services to 22 cities in 12 countries on both sides of the Atlantic. Its main base is Keflavík International Airport.

Icelandair traces its roots to 1937 when Flugfélag Akureyrar was founded in Akureyri on the north coast of Iceland. Operations started in 1938 with a Waco YKS-7 floatplane. In 1940 the company moved its headquarters to Reykjavík, and changed its name to Flugfélag Íslands. A company called Loftleiðir had been formed by three pilots in 1944 . Initially Loftleiðir and Flugfélag Íslands concentrated on Icelandic domestic air services. The name Icelandair has been in use since 1956.
