Icelandair Traffic Data: Over 20% increase in the number of
passengers to date
Icelandair transported 547 thousand passengers in August and has
transported around three million passengers in the first eight
months of 2023, 21% more than in the same period last year. In
June, July and August, which are historically the largest months in
terms of traffic numbers, Icelandair transported 1.6 million
passengers.
In August, passengers travelling to Iceland were 249 thousand,
from Iceland 51 thousand, via passengers were 223 thousand and
domestic passengers were 25 thousand. Load factor was 83.9% and on
time performance was 78.9%. Sold block hours in leasing increased
by 18% compared to last year and the increase in Freight Tonne
Kilometers was 43%.
Bogi Nils Bogason, Icelandair CEO:
“We are happy to see continued growth between years and our
passenger numbers are getting closer to what they were in 2019. The
North American markets continue to show the strongest performance
and in that light it is interesting to remember how it all started.
In August, we celebrated an important milestone - 75 years since
our first flight to the USA. At that time we operated six flights a
month to New York and Chicago and the flight time was more than
fourteen hours. Today, we have up to 600 direct flights a month to
15 destinations in North America, more than all the other Nordic
airports combined.
This winter we will continue innovating by offering double daily
flights most days of the week to Boston and New York. Our winter
schedule is more extensive than ever, with a number of
destinations, such as Baltimore, Raleigh-Durham, Rome and
Vancouver, becoming full year destinations. We are also excited to
connect Akureyri in the North of Iceland to our European network
through Keflavik during this fall. The international connection
will be operated for five weeks and will offer smooth connections
to and from North Iceland.”
