Icelandair is the flag carrier of Iceland. It traces its roots to Flugfélag Akureyrar, founded in Akureyri on 3 June 1937, and took the Icelandair name in 1979. The airline is owned by Icelandair Group and is headquartered in Hafnarfjörður. Icelandair is not a member of an airline alliance; it works with partners such as Alaska Airlines, JetBlue and ITA Airways through codeshare and other agreements.

Its hub is Keflavík International Airport (KEF), about 50 km from Reykjavík, where flights between North America and Europe connect. Domestic flights within Iceland use Reykjavík Airport. The network covers around 60 destinations in the United States, Canada, Europe, Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Iceland. Through the Icelandair Stopover, passengers flying between North America and Europe can spend up to seven nights in Iceland at no extra airfare.

The fleet of about 44 aircraft is made up of Boeing 737 MAX jets, Airbus A321LRs, Boeing 757s and 767s, and Dash 8 turboprops for domestic and regional routes.
