History
Icelandair
traces its roots back to the year 1937, when a fledgling airline, Flugfélag
Akureyrar, was founded at Akureyri on the north coast of Iceland. In 1943 the
company moved its headquarters to the capital, Reykjavík, and changed its name
to Flugfélag Íslands, which then later assumed the international trade name
Icelandair.
In 1945 Flugfélag Íslands made its first international flights to Scotland and
Denmark. Loftleidir began international operations in 1947, and its pioneering
low-fare services across the North-Atlantic commenced in 1953.
In 1973 it was agreed to merge both Flugfélag Íslands and Loftleidir under a new
holding company, Flugleidir. In October 1979 Flugleidir assumed all operating
responsibilities of its two "parents", and decided to use Icelandair as its
international trade name, only retaining the Flugleidir name in the Icelandic
domestic market. The company is 100% privately owned by about 5000 Icelandic
shareholders, and is the largest private company in Iceland, employing over 2000
people.
