Icelandair will decide next month if its remaining fleet of Boeing 757s will be phased out one year earlier than planned after elevated jet fuel prices changed the economics of operating the aircraft.
Icelandair returned to profitability in 2023, increased flight schedules for the summer 2024 season by 11% and plans to invest in slots at major airports.
Loftleidir Icelandic, which has bought a majority share in Cabo Verde Airlines, has big ambitions for developing routes and increasing tourism to Cape Verde.
The landing was a joint partnership between ANI’s parent, Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions (ALE), Loftleidir Icelandic, and NAS Corporation Limited (NAS) and is part of a wider investigation into the potential for utilising conventional passenger airliners in addition to passenger/cargo combination aircraft to support Antarctic operations.
