Operator Questions: Iceland

How many business aviation operators are there in Iceland?

According to publicly available data, there are nine operators based in four cities: Keflavik, Reykjavik International, Skaftafell, and Akureyri International. The list is verified against open sources and updated as changes occur.

What types of aircraft do operators in Iceland have?

Local airlines' fleets include the Boeing 777-200, De Havilland DHC-8-200, De Havilland DHC-8-400 (Dash 8), Airbus Helicopters H125, Piper PA31-310, and Aerospatiale AS350B3. We select the appropriate aircraft for the task from this fleet and from aircraft in neighboring countries.

Why look at the operator's AOC?

An air operator certificate (AOC) is issued by the aviation authorities of the country of registration and defines flight regulations, crew requirements, and dispute resolution procedures. Flights are always operated by the operator, not the broker, so their approvals are verified before a booking is confirmed.
