(English version below 👇) (Íslenska hér að neðan 👇)
Icelandair vient de signer un contrat de location pour six Airbus A320neo supplémentaires auprès de la société Aircastle. Prévus pour entrer en service avant la saison estivale 2028, ces appareils viennent renforcer la transition de la compagnie aérienne islandaise vers une aviation plus moderne et plus éco-efficiente.
Grâce à cet accord et à d'autres livraisons déjà effectuées, la flotte d'Airbus d'Icelandair atteindra 20 avions d'ici deux ans. Cette modernisation progressive permettra de remplacer définitivement les anciens Boeing 757 et 767.
Bogi Nils Bogason, le PDG d'Icelandair, a souligné que la compagnie franchissait une étape clé : dès l'année prochaine, la totalité des vols passagers réguliers de la compagnie sera opérée par des appareils de nouvelle génération. Outre un meilleur confort de vol, ces nouveaux modèles réduisent la consommation de carburant par siège jusqu'à 30 % par rapport aux anciens avions, diminuant ainsi significativement l'empreinte carbone de la compagnie.

Icelandair Continues Fleet Modernisation with Six New Airbus Aircraft
Icelandair has signed a lease agreement for six additional Airbus A320neo aircraft from Aircastle. Scheduled to enter service ahead of the 2028 summer season, these aircraft will bolster the Icelandic airline's transition towards a more modern and eco-efficient fleet.
Thanks to this agreement and other deliveries already completed, Icelandair's Airbus fleet will reach 20 aircraft within the next two years. This progressive modernisation will permanently replace its older Boeing 757 and 767 jets.
Icelandair CEO Bogi Nils Bogason highlighted a major milestone: starting next year, all of the airline's scheduled passenger flights will be operated using new-generation aircraft. In addition to offering better flight comfort, these newer models consume up to 30% less fuel per seat compared to older aircraft, significantly reducing the airline's carbon footprint.

Icelandair heldur áfram endurnýjun flota síns með s*x nýjum Airbus-vélum
Icelandair hefur undirritað leigusamning um s*x viðbótar Airbus A320neo-flugvélar við leigufélagið Aircastle. Áætlað er að vélarnar fari í rekstur fyrir sumarið 2028 og munu þær styrkja vegferð íslenska flugfélagsins á leið til nútímalegra og umhverfismeðvitaðri flugreksturs.
Með þessum samningi og öðrum afhendingum sem þegar hafa farið fram mun Airbus-floti Icelandair telja 20 vélar innan tveggja ára. Þessi stigmagnandi endurnýjun gerir félaginu kleift að fasa út eldri Boeing 757 og 767-vélar sínar varanlega.
Bogi Nils Bogason, forstjóri Icelandair, undirstrikaði að félagið væri að ná mikilvægum áfanga: frá og með næsta ári verða öll áætluð farþegaflug félagsins rekin með nýkynslóðarflugvélum. Auk þess að bjóða upp á meiri þægindi í flugi nota þessar nýju gerðir allt að 30% minna eldsneyti á hvert sæti miðað við eldri vélarnar, sem dregur verulega úr kolefnisfótspori félagsins.
