Jun 25, 2019 (newstodate): Like other Boeing 737 MAX operators, Icelandair is struggling to keep its network flowing with leased-in capacity.
As a result, the carrier is operating a Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 aircraft from Air Iceland Connect on international routes from Keflavik to Dublin from July 18t till September 14, 2019, and to Manchester during the period July 15-September 11, 2019, both routes served twice-weekly.
Icelandair is also operating an Airbus A319 sourced from the Lithuanian ACMI provider GetJet Airlines on flights from Keflavik to Billund, Brussels, Geneva, Hamburg, Manchester, Oslo and Paris through July 2019.
Icelandair has already sourced two Boeing 767-300 aircraft on a dry-lease contract, with the first aircraft entering operation by mid-April, and the second aircraft joining by the beginning of June 2019.
The carrier has also added one Boeing 757-200 aircraft on a similar basis from May 15, 2019, and till the end of September.
With these changes, the total seat capacity from July 15 to September 15 will still decrease by five percent compared to the original estimates.
