Sep 26, 2011 (newstodate): Icelandair has presented its plans for 2012, embodying a strong growth in traffic and figures.
The airline will add two more Boeing 757-200 aircraft to its fleet currently comprising 14 aircraft, and increase its operations by 13 percent, compared to the activities in 2011.
In 2012, Icelandair's route network will comprise 13 destinations, and in addition to four weekly flights to the new Denver destination, Icelandair will increase its number of flights to Washington and Seattle in the U.S., to all the Nordic capitals and Trondheim, Stavanger and Bergen in Norway, to Billund in Denmark, to Munich, Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris on continental Europe and to Manchester and Glasgow in the United Kingdom.
The significant increase in production will also benefit the operations by Icelandair Cargo as well as the airline's hub at Keflavik Airport.
In fact, the winter schedule for 2012-2013 will be larger than Icelandair's summer schedule two years ago.
The determined efforts by Icelandair to continue its organic strategy of growth will also add to the heat around its Icelandic competitor in the trans-Atlantic market, Iceland Express that is now to rethink its strategy under its new CEO from the start of October.
