Air Iceland routes overhauled in bid to improve performance
Icelandair Group’s efforts to restructure its operations have included shedding UK services operated by its regional division Air Iceland Connect. The group admits that the regional operation is “challenging” and that it has taken “efficiency measures” in a bid to improve performance. Air Iceland Connect operates a fleet of 6 Bombardier turboprops – comprising 3 Dash 8-200s and 3 Q400s. It has withdrawn services to its UK destinations of Aberdeen and Belfast and, as of mid-May, it axed its Q400 flights on the domestic link between Reykjavik Keflavik and Akureyri. “The company now concentrates its efforts on domestic flights and regional flights between Iceland and Greenland,” says Icelandair Group. “Work is also in progress on further integrating Air Iceland Connect with Icelandair.” <br/>
