Icelandair’s fleet renewal continues
Icelandair and SMBC have signed a long-term lease agreement for
one Airbus A321LR aircraft scheduled to be delivered in the first
quarter of 2026. This will be the fifth A321LR aircraft leased from
SMBC. As previously announced, Icelandair signed a contract with
Airbus for up to 25 Airbus A321XLR aircraft in July 2023 as well as
a long-term lease agreement with SMBC for four new A321LR
aircraft.
The Airbus A321LR and XLR aircraft will be the future
replacement of Icelandair’s fleet of Boeing 757s. Deliveries of the
LR aircraft will begin in 2024, and XLR deliveries will start in
2029.
Bogi Nils Bogason, Icelandair president and
CEO:
“We are very pleased to announce the lease of one more aircraft
from our long-term partner SMBC Aviation Limited. We have already
started entry into service for these efficient aircraft that will
replace our Boeing 757’s. They will provide exciting opportunities
and possibilities to explore new destinations as well as further
support our sustainability efforts.”
