Icelandair

Icelandair is Iceland's flag carrier and primary international airline, operating scheduled passenger and cargo services between Iceland and destinations across Europe and North America. Founded in 1937, the airline has grown from a small domestic operator into a significant transatlantic carrier, leveraging Iceland's geographic position as a midpoint between the two continents. The airline is well known for its Stopover program, which allows transatlantic passengers to break their journey in Iceland at no additional airfare cost, effectively promoting tourism to the country. Icelandair operates primarily out of Keflavík International Airport near Reykjavík and serves dozens of destinations across Europe and North America. Icelandair Group, the parent company, is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Iceland stock exchange. The airline has navigated significant challenges including the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption and the global disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, emerging as a resilient player in the North Atlantic aviation market.
