Icelandair traces its history to Flugfélag Akureyrar, founded in northern Iceland in 1937. The business later evolved through Flugfélag Íslands, Loftleidir and their 1973 merger, with Icelandair becoming the international trade name used by the combined airline.
The airline is part of Icelandair Group and uses Iceland's geographic position to connect cities on both sides of the North Atlantic. Its network also includes domestic Icelandic routes and destinations in Greenland. Fleet renewal has added Airbus A321LR aircraft alongside Boeing aircraft.
