History of Icelandair

Icelandair was founded in 1937 as Flugfélag Akureyrar in Akureyri. Flights began in 1938 using a floatplane. In the 1940s the airline moved from Akureyri to Reykjavík concentrating until the mid-1940s on domestic flights. In 1945 Icelandair flew to its first international destinations in Scotland and Denmark. In the 1970s the name Icelandair was adopted and began regular flights connecting Europe and the USA. In 1997 Icelandair established a smaller subsidiary airline called Air Iceland. It operates domestic and short-haul routes.
