Icelandair glacier plane: New designed Boeing 757-200 aircraft inspired by Europe's largest ice cap

Complete with an ice cave-like cabin interior and a hand-painted livery bearing the image of a glacier, Icelandair has unveiled a newly designed Boeing 757-200 aircraft inspired by Europe's largest ice cap. The airline's Vatnajökull plane, named after the glacier of the same name, features an icy, electric blue-coloured LED lighting system in the main cabin and a "glacier soundtrack" to "create the right atmosphere", while the headrests on the seats have been decorated in white and turquoise hues.​ The plane's drinks trolley has been made into a "mini ice cave" while cups, napkins, and sick bags have also been decorated in glacier prints. All of Icelandair's aircraft are named after an Icelandic volcano, but the Vatnajökull, launched to celebrate the airline's 80th anniversary, is the only one named after a glacier. It was designed by the team behind Icelandair's Hekla Aurora, the Northern Lights-inspired aircraft released in 2015. The Vatnajökull plane is in normal circulation and passengers can also request to fly in one through the airline's website where they can see it's latest available routes. The UK routes on which it is most likely to operate include Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, London Heathrow and Gatwick. It will also serve other European routes as well as North American ones. <br/>
