Our markets

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related travel restrictions explain the considerable drop in passenger numbers in 2020. Icelandair's focus during the year was on keeping vital air routes open to and from Iceland. Due to the closure of the US and external Schengen borders, the via market decreased significantly in 2020.
