The Saga of Two Icelandic Airports RKV and KEF GOING in DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS The saga of two Icelandic Airports RKV AND KEF GOING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS 36 | AIRWAYS | NOVEMBER 2016 www.airwaysmag.com Iceland’s two busiest airports—Keflavik (KEF) and Reykjavik (RKV)—are 30 miles (50km) from each other; yet, in many ways, they seem continents apart. Both of World War II vintage, Reykjavik has seen little change over the past 60 years and its future is shaky, whereas Keflavik is busy expanding.

  • Bsc Business Administration
    BSc Business Administration How have current market conditions affected Icelandic airlines compared to international competitors and how to they perform differently? December 2018 Student: Þórunn Andrésdóttir Kt: 160493-2759 Instructor: Katrín Ólafsdóttir Scanned with CamScanner Abstract The behavior of the commercial aviation market has changed greatly in the last 4 decade which has caused the market to shift from an oligopoly market to a monopolistic competitive market. This shift has increased competition in the market as low-cost carriers, budget airlines, have entered the market causing the prices of airfare to drop. With increased competition on the market and new airlines entering the market with innovative ideas, it has created operation difficulties for airlines in the market. In particular the Icelandic airlines, as airline expenses have steadily been increasing. Rising jet fuel prices, increasing average wages and exchange rate deficit are among the changes in the market that are weighing heavily on airlines expenses. This thesis discusses how these market factors affect the Icelandic airlines and how their performance is different compared to the competition in the market. The analysis that was conducted showed that the Icelandic airlines spend more on jet fuel and employee’s salary than their competition. However, Icelandair’s unit cost was the second lowest in the analysis which indicates that the airline is more likely to survive if there will be a major decrease in airfare demand in the market. Key words: commercial aviation, Icelandic airlines, jet fuel, average wages, CASK, transatlantic routes. Preface This final project is a 12 ECTS thesis for a BSc degree in Business Administration at Reykjavík University.

    27 July 2020 | Icelandair Group Interim Report PASSENGER OPERATIONS SEVERELY IMPACTED BY COVID-19 ▪ EBIT negative by USD 105.1 million in Q2 2020, down by USD 81.0 million ▪ Net loss of USD 90.8 million in Q2 ▪ COVID-19-related one-off cost amounted to USD 43.8 million in Q2 and USD 224.8 million in the first 6 months of the year ▪ Equity amounted to USD 118.4 million at the end of June 2020. Equity ratio was 11% ▪ Cash and cash equivalent amounted to USD 153.6 million at the end of June 2020 ▪ Icelandair’s available seat kilometers (ASK) decreased by 97% between years and the number of passengers by 98% ▪ Cargo flight hours doubled from last year BOGI NILS BOGASON, PRESIDENT & CEO “The second quarter was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We only operated three per cent of our planned passenger flight schedule but focused on keeping vital air routes open to Europe and North America. Revenue, which decreased by 85% between years, was driven by our cargo and aircraft leasing operations where our employees across the Group showed remarkable resourcefulness and flexibility to seize opportunities during this challenging time. In the second quarter, cargo flight hours doubled from last year. We had to take difficult but necessary measures in the quarter to reduce cost and prevent cash outflow. This included significant reduction in our workforce and changes to our organisational structure. The work on the financial restructuring of the Company is progressing and we aim to have reached agreements with all our key stakeholders by the end of July, followed by a share offering in August.

  • Air Greenland Places Christmas Order for an A330neo
    Air Greenland places Christmas order for an A330neo #A330neo @AirGreenlandSAS Toulouse, 18 December 2020 – Air Greenland, the flag-carrier for Greenland, is the latest airline to order Airbus’ next generation A330neo widebody aircraft. The new A330-800 will replace the airline’s ageing Airbus A330-200ceo to secure operations linking the Arctic island with Denmark from end of 2022 onwards and beyond. Air Greenland’s CEO’s Jacob Nitter Sørensen said: “The A330neo is a fundamental part of Air Greenland’s fleet strategy. The new aircraft will, for years to come, offer travellers to and from Greenland a unique inflight experience while leaving the lowest carbon footprint possible. The A330neo is a perfect fit for the very challenging task of providing safe and efficient all year passenger, cargo and freight services to and from Greenland.” “We’re pleased to see Air Greenland renew its confidence in the A330 Family and join the growing number of operators who are selecting the A330neo as a logical replacement for their ageing fleets,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer. “To imagine the airline’s distinctive red livery set against the Arctic’s environment provides some Christmas cheer at the end of a year that has been harsh for our entire industry.” The Airbus A330neo is a true new-generation aircraft, building on features popular for the A330ceo and developed for the latest technology A350. Equipped with a compelling Airspace cabin, the A330neo offers a unique passenger experience with the latest- generation, in-flight entertainment systems and connectivity. Powered by the latest Rolls- Royce Trent 7000 engines, and featuring a new wing with increased span and A350-inspired ‘Sharklets’, the A330neo also provides an unprecedented level of efficiency – with 25% lower fuel-burn per seat than previous-generation competitors.

  • Tourism in Iceland: Soft Landing Or a Belly Flop?
    Tourism in Iceland: Soft landing or a belly flop? Arion Research October 2018 Table of contents • Key findings (p. 3) • From zero to hero (p. 4) • Airlines operating environment and impact on tourist arrivals (p. 11) • The downside risk is significant (p. 21) • Are we getting ahead of ourselves in hotel construction? (p. 28) – How do Icelandic hotels fare in international comparison? (p. 38) – Airbnb showing signs of growing pains (p. 49) • How quickly the tide turns (p. 54) Key findings • Increased capacity of the Icelandic airlines has played a large role in the sensational growth in tourist arrivals to Iceland. • Although oil prices have surged since 2016, airfares have not followed. According to estimates, the Icelandic airlines will pay around one thousand ISK with each passenger in 2018, a development that is unsustainable in the long run. Airfares are simply too cheap and they need to increase. Analysis of tourist’s price elasticity of demand indicate that rising airfares could lead to decrease in number of tourists, especially if the ISK remains strong. • We predict very little growth in tourism in the coming years. In our base case tourist arrivals will increase by 1.4% next year and 2.4% in 2020. There is quite a lot of uncertainty, but we consider the downward risk to be greater. For example, if growth in VIA passengers continues at the same rate in 2019 as it has done in 2018, number of inbound tourists could slightly decrease. Global trade tension could also slow growth in passenger transport, a development which would affect Iceland.

  • Keflavik Airport Makes Ties with Tampa
    7 September 2017 Keflavik Airport makes ties with Tampa Continuing to record significant growth in passenger numbers, Keflavik Airport has welcomed the latest addition to its ever-growing route network with the arrival of Icelandair’s new link to Tampa. With the 5,779-kilometre route operated twice-weekly on the carrier’s 183-seat 757-200s, the Icelandic hub celebrated the inaugural flight of the airport pair yesterday. Becoming Keflavik’s 18th US destination – its 23rd in North America – the new service further consolidates the US as the airport’s largest country market served in terms of S17 seat capacity. Facing no direct competition on the link to Florida’s Gulf Coast, Icelandair adds its 13th US destination from its base, now offering almost 20,000 weekly seats to the US from Iceland’s largest airport. Expecting to reach 8.7 million passengers this year, Keflavik has seen its traffic nearly double since 2015. Photo caption: Celebrating the latest addition to its ever-growing route network, Keflavik Airport welcomes the inaugural flight of Icelandair’s twice-weekly service to Tampa with a traditional fire truck water arch. Notes for Editors Isavia handles the operation and development of all airports in Iceland, including its four international airports – Keflavik, Reykjavik, Akureyri and Egilsstaðir. Keflavik welcomed more than 6.8 million passengers in 2016, flying on the airport’s scheduled services to 100 destinations across 27 countries. This year the airport serves 112 destinations across 30 countries. Monthly passenger traffic growth at Keflavik in June 2017 was 22%. Keflavik won anna.aero’s Euro ANNIE award for the fastest growing airport in Europe in the 5-10 million annual passenger category in July 2017.
