Iceland’s legacy airline Icelandair ends flying its two Boeing 767-300ERs at the end of 2026, its CEO Bogi Nils Bogason announced in the presentation of the quarterly results of 2025Q3.
Despite making a profit, it was lower than the third quarter of last year and the company is expected to run with a loss of at least 8.5 million euro at the end of 2025. The announced retirement of the two Boeing 767-300ERs will mark the end of wide-body passenger operations by the airline.
Icelandair has operated a total of twelve Boeing 767s, which have more seats in a row than all its other aircraft. Currently, two Boeing 767-300ERs for passenger flights remain operational, having been added to the fleet in 2016.
Cargo Boeing 767s
The airline also operates two cargo versions of the type, Boeing 767-300BCFs, which were added as late as 2022. It is likely they remain within the fleet. The passenger versions of the 767 will be replaced by smaller Airbus A321s. | © 2025 Marcel Burger, nordicreporter.com.
