Bogi Nils Bogason, Icelandair President and CEO:
“We continue focusing our growth on the winter season, as well as the markets to and from Iceland. We have seen a very strong start to February, including our strongest sales days on record in the from-Iceland market. This is in line with our focus on the most lucrative markets at any given time and on reducing seasonality in our operations. I am pleased to see the market responding positively to our off-peak growth, most clearly reflected in the year-on-year increase in yield and load factor, which is the highest we have recorded in January. At the same time, we continue seeing outstanding on-time performance, thanks to the collective efforts of all Icelandair employees.”
