Icelandair, and its founding airlines, Icelandair (Flugfélag
Íslands) and Icelandic Airlines (Loftleidir), have been in
air transportation since 1937, and have operated international flights
since 1945. Turboprop aircraft were introduced in 1957, and turbojets
in 1967. During the years 1989-1992 Icelandair renewed its whole
fleet with brand new Boeing 737-400 and 757-200 jets and Fokker
50 turboprop aircraft. During the summer of 2003 Icelandair operated
a total of 12 Boeing 757 aircraft, of which ten are B757-200, one
B757-300 and one B757-200F all-freighter. Most of the fleet is allocated
to serve the traditional scheduled air routes between Iceland
and other countries, whereas some aircraft are leased to fly in
various Icelandic and foreign charter services In the beginning
of July 2003 the average age of this fleet is about eight years,
whereas the average age of the 11 B757 aircraft used in international
passenger operations is only 7.5 years.
