In-flight Service
Icelandair’s in-flight magazine, Atlantica, is printed six times a year in English. First published in 1967, Atlantica is the second-oldest in-flight magazine in the world. The magazine, produced by the same staff that creates Iceland Review, normally features one or two travel features on Icelandair destinations as well as other articles including interviews, trend stories and profiles.
The in-flight entertainment system comprises seatback, touch-screen monitors for each passenger. The entertainment selection normally includes on-demand movies and television episodes, as well as documentaries and music. The airlines originally charged a fee to access content when the service was first introduced in late 2008, but the fee was discontinued when the service failed to generate income.
The cabin is divided into three classes: economy, economy comfort and Saga class (generally considered equivalent to business class amenities). All classes receive free in-flight meals except for economy, where food and alcohol are offered for a fee but soft drinks are complementary.
Destinations
Icelandair transported over one-and-a-half million passengers in 2005 (1,526,241), the largest number of passengers that the airline has transported in one year. The number of passengers increased 14.5 per cent from the previous year and, since 1993, this amount has tripled. On average, Icelandair operated 28 flights a day in 2005
