In 2025, Icelandair carries 5 million passengers and generates revenue of 1.7 billion dollars. This success is built on the appeal of Iceland and the strength of its hub at Keflavik Airport, with an 84% load factor. While transatlantic routes between Europe and North America are performing well, high operating costs and geological uncertainties are weighing on its finances. To reverse the trend, Icelandair is modernising its fleet and adjusting its network of destinations to maximise cabin load factors. Ground teams and crews are enhancing service quality to build loyalty among a demanding international customer base.

About the airline Icelandair
It began modestly with a single seaplane, and since then, the fleet has grown and now numbers more than 30 aircraft, mostly Boeing 757s. The airline focuses on cheap flights, but its policy is also strongly geared towards protecting the environment: reducing aircraft fuel consumption by adopting more precise navigation technologies to shorten flight paths and by improving aircraft aerodynamics. Icelandair serves 46 destinations, mainly in the United States and Europe.

Investments for the use of sustainable aviation fuels
Icelandair is actively committed to using sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to reduce its carbon footprint. In March 2023, the airline signed an agreement with Icelandic producer IdunnH2 for the supply of SAF. The partnership provides for the production of increasing quantities of fuel each year, with a forecast of 45,000 tonnes of sustainable fuel in 2028. This would represent approximately 10% of total fuel consumption. The SAF will be produced from green hydrogen and recycled carbon dioxide, and will be blended with conventional fuel to power Icelandair's fleet.
Investment in fleet renewal
In 2023, Icelandair marked a turning point by signing a historic agreement with Airbus to purchase 13 Airbus A321XLR. The company installed winglets on its aircraft to reduce drag and consequently, fuel consumption.

Carbon offsetting programmes
Icelandair offers its passengers a voluntary carbon offsetting programme in cooperation with "Klappir Green Solutions and Kolvidur", an Icelandic carbon fund. Thanks to this project, several trees are planted every year.
Optimisation of flight operations
Icelandair has put in place de-icing procedures that ensure compliance with existing regulations and global aircraft de-icing standards to ensure aerodynamic performance and optimal safety.
Other environmental initiatives
Icelandair has obtained the highest level of certification in IATA's environmental certification program, IEnvA. In addition, the airline collaborates with Klappir Green Solutions to digitally manage all data down to the operational-unit level. As for waste management, approximately 34% of the waste generated by aircraft was sorted during the year.
