Icelandair fleet

We have a flexible Boeing fleet that marries commonality with varying sizes and capabilities. The mix of aircraft is perfectly suited to serve Icelandair’s international route network, which is designed around the unique geographical location of Iceland as a connecting hub between Europe and North America.

In April 2023, Icelandair announced plans to operate Airbus aircraft from 2025, in addition to its Boeing aircraft. Read the announcement about future plans for the fleet.

International operations

Boeing 757s offer long range and versatility, making them ideal for US West Coast and Canada operations.

Boeing 767s offer high passenger load along with great cargo capacity into high-density markets in Europe and on the US East Coast.

Boeing 737 MAX 8 and Boeing 737 MAX 9 are the latest additions to our fleet. These aircraft combine less fuel use, less noise and an innovative redesign of the aircraft cabin.

Domestic and Greenland operations

In March 2021, Icelandair and Air Iceland Connect united as Icelandair. This change is a part of strengthening our domestic route network and our operations to Greenland. As part of this integration, we added De Havilland Canada aircraft to the Icelandair fleet.

Boeing 737 MAX

Boeing 737 MAX 8 and Boeing 737 MAX 9 are the latest additions to our fleet.

Boeing 757-200

The Boeing 757 is a mid-size narrow-body twinjet aircraft, ideal for short to medium-haul routes. The 757-200 model makes up the bulk of our fleet.

Boeing 757-300

The Boeing 757-300 is a stretched version of the 757-200 model. It shares the narrow-body twin-engine design of the original, with the fuselage stretched before and after the wings.

Boeing 767-300 ER

In spring 2016, Icelandair added two wide-body Boeing 767-300s to its fleet. These aircraft are larger than the 757s, and their greater seating capacity and extended flight range make them ideally suited for non-stop long-haul flights.

De Havilland Canada DHC-8-200

Our domestic and Greenland routes are served by De Havilland Canada (DHC) aircraft, including the 37-seat DHC-8-200.

De Havilland Canada DHC-8-400

Our domestic and Greenland routes are served by De Havilland Canada (DHC) aircraft, including the 76-seat DHC-8-400.

Range of our Boeing aircraft

Our Boeing aircraft are ideal for serving destinations in Europe and North America from our hub in Iceland. Their range varies between models.
