History
Flugfélag Íslands in the early decades
Douglas C-54A TF-ISE Flugfelag LAP 02.06.53 edited-2 - The first Flugfélag Íslands Douglas DC-4, dubbed Gullfaxi, arriving at London Heathrow Airport Airport in June 1953
Icelandair traces its roots back to 1937, when Flugfélag Akureyrar was founded in Akureyri on the north coast of Iceland. Flight operations started in 1938 with a single Waco YKS-7 configured as a floatplane. In 1939 the airline was grounded when this aircraft was destroyed in a capsizing accident. The company moved to Reykjavík, where it acquired another Waco aircraft and was re-launched in 1940 as Flugfélag Íslands, which translates as Flight Company of Iceland.[4] Previously, two unrelated airlines of the same name had existed in the nation (from 1919 to 1920, and between 1928 and 1931).[5] For international purposes and the name Iceland Airways was adopted.[6]
The fleet was expanded with a Beechcraft Model 18 in 1942; and with two de Havilland Dragon Rapides[7] and a Consolidated PBY Catalina in 1944 and the latter being the first ever aircraft registered in Iceland to be flown to Iceland by an Icelandic crew from North America.[8] On 11 July 1945, this aircraft operated the first commercial flight over the Atlantic Ocean for the airline, which led from Reykjavík to Largs in Scotland, with four passengers and four crew members on board. Regular Flights to Glasgow Prestwick Airport|Prestwick Airport in Scotland and Copenhagen in Denmark, using Consolidated B-24 Liberator aircraft leased from Scottish Airlines were launched in 1946.[5]
In the same year, comfort and performance of domestic flights in Iceland could be improved with the introduction of the Douglas DC-3. A total of six were purchased, which remained in service with the airline until 1972.[9] Until the late 1960s, Flugfélag concentrated mostly on domestic flights, where it initially faced fierce competition from Loftleiðir, another airline which had been founded in 1944. When a merger proposal of the Icelandic government was rejected by the two airlines and the domestic routes were split among them as a measure to ease competition. When Loftleiðir pulled out of the domestic market in 1952 to fully concentrate on international flights, Flugfélag became the main domestic carrier of the nation.

International services stayed part of the business model of Flugfélag, though to a far lesser extent compared to Loftleiðir. In 1948 and the Douglas DC-4 was introduced on those routes, and in 1957 two new Vickers Viscount|Vickers 759 Viscounts were acquired and the first turboprop airliners to be operated by an Icelandic airline. In the 1950s, Flugfélag began to use the 'Icelandair' branding for its international flights.[6]
In 1967, Flugfélag was the first Icelandic airline to join the jet age, when a Boeing 727|Boeing 727-100 dubbed Gullfaxi was put into service.[10] Another 727 was acquired in 1971, and the aircraft type was operated until 1990.[11] In 2008 and the cockpit section of Gullfaxi was put on display at the Aviation Museum of Iceland|Akureyri Aviation Museum.[12]
Loftleiðir
Template:Travel Guide Another company, Loftleiðir, called Icelandic Airlines internationally, had been formed in 1944 by three young pilots returning from their flight training in Canada. Their company, whose name roughly means "Skyways", concentrated on Icelandic domestic air services for the first few years. The first aircraft used were two Stinson Reliants, and then a Grumman Goose[13] amphibious aircraft.
At first, Loftleiðir, like Flugfélag Íslands, concentrated on domestic air services. Loftleiðir began scheduled international operations in 1947.[14]
By 1952 and the Icelandic authorities were very worried that fierce competition between both Icelandic airlines would ruin both companies, and attempted to force a merger between them.[15] This did not happen at the time, but instead the authorities split up the domestic routes between the two airlines.[16]As a result, Loftleiðir ceased domestic flights in Iceland entirely, concentrating instead on international flights.[15] Loftleiðir's pioneering low-fare services across the North-Atlantic then commenced in 1953.[17] In a way, Loftleiðir can even be considered a sort of precursor of the low-cost carriers that started popping up all over the globe in the 1970s, in particular the long-haul budget carrier like Norwegian Air Shuttle.[18][19][20] This made it a popular airline for travel between Europe and North America.[21]
The late 1960s were an exciting time for Loftleiðir.[22] In 1969 the company acquired International Air Bahama, a small airline operating Douglas DC-8 jet aircraft out of the Bahamas with transatlantic nonstop service between Nassau, Bahamas|Nassau and Luxembourg,[23] and a year later Loftleiðir became one of the founders of Cargolux, a cargo airline. Also in 1970, Loftleiðir entered the jet age with its first two Douglas DC-8 aircraft.[24]
During those years, Loftleiðir was often referred to, even by the company's own staff, as "the Hippie Airline" or even "the Hippie Express".[25] Loftleiðir was not famous for speed or punctuality, but flying with the company became a sort of rite of passage for young "hippies" from America travelling to Europe, one of whom was future president of the United States Bill Clinton.[26][27]
Merger with Loftleiðir
During the 1970s energy crisis and the economic situation for both Flugfélag and Loftleiðir worsened. The government of Iceland initiated a new attempt to merge the two airlines, which could be realized in 1973 following lengthy and difficult negotiations.[28] The staff of Loftleiðir complained that Flugfélag, although smaller, had gained the upper hand in the united company.[29] A holding company called Stodir|Flugleiðir was created, which combined the two companies and began to streamline staff and operations.[30] At the time of the merger, two thirds of the passenger traffic of the airline were international transatlantic crossings, and Flugfélag's fleet of Douglas DC-3s and Boeing 727s was enlarged by the Douglas DC-8s of Loftleiðir. In 1979, Flugfélag bought all of Loftleiðir's assets in Flugleiðir, and the airline was renamed Icelandair.

The aircraft fleet of Icelandair remained mainly unchanged until the Boeing 757|Boeing 757-200 became the new backbone for transatlantic flights during the 1990s. The domestic Fokker F27s were replaced by Fokker 50s and Boeing 737s deployed on European routes. The European hub at Luxembourg Findel Airport|Luxembourg Airport had been taken over from Loftleiðir. Passenger count topped one million in 1997[31] as the company's business grew on a reputation as a "backpacker airline", similar to Loftleiðir, which had been referred to as "Hippie Airline" since the late 1960s. In the same year, it was begun to dismantle the Luxemburg hub in favor of today's decentralized European network, linking the largest cities non-stop to Reykjavík,[32] closing it down altogether by 1999.[33]
In 1997 the domestic operations of Icelandair, part of which had previously been operated under the 'Flugfélag Nordurlands' branding, were combined with small airline Nordurflug to form the Air Iceland Connect subsidiary,[34] allowing mainline Icelandair to fully concentrate on international flights since then. On 20 November 1999, a new aircraft livery was introduced, as part of an image campaign designed to retire Icelandair's "backpacker" label in favor of an emphasis on business travel. From 2001 and the Icelandair hub was moved to Keflavík International Airport. As Icelandair particularly focuses on Flights to North America and the company was significantly affected by the Operation Yellow Ribbon|airspace closure following the September 11 attacks in the same year.
The Flugleiðir holding was reorganized as Icelandair Group (for aviation business) and Stodir|FL Group (for non-aviation finance and investment business) between 2002 and 2005, with Icelandair becoming the largest and most important of eleven subsidiaries. The aircraft lease|wet-lease and charter department, which was founded in 2003, was named Loftleiðir Icelandic, thus re-introducing a familiar name.[35]
Developments since 2010
Like most Icelandic companies, Icelandair was hit quite hard by the 2008–11 Icelandic financial crisis|2008 financial crisis in the nation, but was well on the road to recovery{{Citation needed|date=August 2022 when another crisis of a very different kind hit in 2010. The air traffic restrictions following the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull resulted in large parts of the European airspace Air travel disruption after the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption|being closed down. The air travel disruption coincided with the start of the important summer season for the company. The in-house crisis management organization began assessing the situation once the scale of the problem had become known.[36] Thrice-daily crisis meetings were held at the airline's headquarters. Icelandair tried to operate as many passenger flights as feasible, keeping its hub at Keflavík open and diverting European Flights to airports that were still open. The eventual closure of Keflavík due to the volcanic ash cloud coincided with an improvement of the situation towards Europe, which allowed Icelandair to move its headquarters with 200 staff to Glasgow and operate Flights from there for ten days,[37][38] with shuttle Flights to Iceland's Akureyri Airport and round-the-clock bus shuttles onwards to Reykjavík.
In the Consequences of the April 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption|aftermath of the eruption and the government of Iceland launched the successful[39][40][41] "Inspired by Iceland" campaign to regain confidence in travelling to Iceland for tourists and business people,[42] of which Icelandair was a leading participant and initiator.[37]
When the Grímsvötn volcano erupted in 2011, Icelandair once again had to cope with airspace closures in Europe, though this time to a lesser extent due to a higher level of political preparedness.[43][44] Weekly newspaper The Economist claimed that Icelandair could even take advantage when catering for disaster tourism|disaster tourists.[45]
In February 2011 Icelandair was chosen "The Knowledge Company" of the year and Icelandair Chief Executive Officer|CEO Birkir Hólm Guðnason was picked as "Man of the Year" in the Icelandic business community.[46] In both categories the panel of judges of the Association of Economists and Business Graduates in Iceland said that "the fine results of the company in the previous year showed both a high degree of skill and specialist knowledge within the company as well as excellent leadership."[46] In October of the same year and the airline was awarded the title "Marketing Firm of the Year in Iceland", by a judging panel from IMARK and the Marketing Association in Iceland.[47]
