Air Iceland - The West-Nordic Airline
Air Iceland is a dynamic company with firm roots that go back to the start
of aviation in Iceland. It was formed by a merger between Icelandair
Domestic and Norlandair (Flugf�lag Nor�urlands) with the goal of creating a
flexible yet powerful airline servicing the West Nordic countries.
The head office of Air Iceland is located in the capital, Reykjav�k, but
the company's registered domicile is in Akureyri, the main town in north
Iceland. Both Reykjav�k Airport and Akureyri Airport serve as hubs for Air
Iceland's route network.
People
The staff of Air Iceland range from airline veterans to new recruits to the
industry. With this combination Air Iceland hopes to achieve a great breath
of outlook while maintaining the highest levels of service. Air Iceland is
a small company of about 230 employees, a dedicated team who are leaders in
their field and aim to be so for years to come.
Air Iceland Service
At Air Iceland our aim is to provide our customers with the best service
possible. We try to keep everything as simple as possible all the way from
the reservations procedure to the documentation for our customer. Once the
passenger is at Air Iceland air terminal, personnel will ensure that his
journey is as smooth as possible.
Routes: Air Iceland is your link to the West Nordic countries. No other
airline in the region offers a comparable route network designed for
comfortable travel in the often remote part of the world where Iceland,
Greenland and Faroe Islands lie.
Domestic: Air Iceland offers flights to 8 destinations within Iceland,
thereby covering all major towns as well as a number of the smaller ones.
From Reykjav�k we fly to Akureyri, Egilssta�ir, Hornafj�r�ur, �safj�r�ur
and Vestmannaeyjar. From Akureyri we fly to Gr�msey, ��rsh�fn,
Vopnafj�r�ur, �safj�r�ur and Egilssta�ir.
Greenland: In cooperation with Greenlandair, Air Iceland offers flights to
three destinations in Greenland. We maintain year-round service to Kulusuk,
and in summer we also fly to Narsarsuaq (20 June - 09 September 2000) and
to Ilulissat via Kulusuk. If you would like to add some domestic legs in
Greenland to your Iceland/Greenland connection, you can do this through Air
Iceland.
Faroe Islands: In cooperation with Atlantic Airways, Air Iceland offers
flights to the Faroese International Airport in V�gar all year round.
Day tour with Air Iceland
In conjunction with flights Air Iceland offer travelers the experience of
exciting day tours.
Imagine having it all - dwelling in the cosmopolitan capital of Reykjav�k,
and yet within the space of one day traveling across Iceland, experiencing
the wonderful contrasts of the island by air, bus and even boat, and still
be back in Reykjav�k for dinner!
Air Iceland offers you day tours that allow you to experience the
highlights of Iceland, whether it be a kayak adventure in the west, whale
watching in the north, ski-dooing across Europe's largest glacier, viewing
Keiko in his new surroundings or even setting foot on the Arctic Circle
with the magnificent midnight sun in the background - and that's just to
name a few.
As if Iceland is not enough, there is also the option of a day tour to
Kulusuk, Greenland, most certainly a fascinating tour that gives a taste of
Greenland.
New in 2000: Air Iceland and Atlantic Airways will for the first time offer
day tours from Iceland to the Faroe Islands. Within a space of one day
there is the choice of either exploring the quaint capital of T�rshavn, or
travel by express helicopter from the airport to see the wonders of
Vestmanna, where you'll experience sailing beneath 1500-foot-high vertical
cliffs - something quite indescribable.
Air Iceland explores Iceland
In cooperation with good partners, Air Iceland now offers complete packages
within Iceland, for example, flights to chosen destination with prebooked
hotel accommodation and rental car upon arrival, and to make things even
easier, two-night hotel accommodation in Reykjav�k.
Air Iceland takes you to Greenland
Just a mere two hours away from Iceland is Greenland, a country so close
yet so different. Air Iceland operates year-round flights to Kulusuk on the
east coast, and with a short helicopter flight the "capital of the east
coast", Ammassalik, is reached. Air Iceland offers year-round packages to
this fascinating country as an adventure tour to either Ammassalik or
Kulusuk. The possibilities are countless, ranging from dog sled excursions
during the winter months to a kayak show in the summer months.
Narsarsuaq on the south coast of Greenland is an amazing area, with its
crisp, clean and untouched nature. During the summer months Air Iceland
offers two flights per week to this part of Greenland, and in conjunction
with those flights complete packages to either Narsarsuaq or the nearby
town of Narsaq.
New in 2000: Air Iceland and Greenlandair will for the first time offer
flights from Reykjav�k to the west coast of Greenland to Ilulissat, or
Jakobshavn as it was known amongst the Danish. These flights will be
operated twice weekly with a short connection time between flights in
Kulusuk.
