Íslandsflug was an airline and aircraft leasing company based at Keflavík International Airport, Reykjavík.

History

The airline was established in 1991 by the merger of two small domestic scheduled airlines, Arnarflug innanlands hf. and Flugtak. In 1994, the airline began overnight parcel services to East Midlands Airport using a Fairchild Metro aircraft. The airline took delivery of its first ATR-42 in 1996. In 1997, the airline became a jet operator with the delivery of its first Boeing 737-200QC which was used for passenger and freight services.

Islandsflug's first widebody aircraft, an Airbus A310, was delivered in 2001, making the airline the first Airbus operator in Iceland.

In 2005 it merged into Air Atlanta Icelandic.[1] Landsflug took over the domestic operations of Islandsflug.[2]
