Fleet
Norlandair (ICAO: FNA) is an Icelandic regional carrier established in 2008, serving the country's domestic and regional network from its main hub at Akureyri Airport in North Iceland. The airline specializes in connecting remote communities and regional destinations that require reliable air service across Iceland's varied terrain and weather conditions.
The airline operates a fleet of De Havilland Canada Dash 8 turboprops, aircraft well-suited to regional operations with modest runway requirements and reliable performance. This fleet composition reflects Norlandair's focus on serving smaller airports and maintaining connectivity to peripheral areas of Iceland that larger mainline carriers may not prioritize.
Since its founding, Norlandair has positioned itself as a regional backbone for Icelandic aviation, complementing larger carriers by serving specific route networks and community connections. The airline's operational base at Akureyri-Iceland's second-largest city-makes it a natural choice for travelers in the north and those seeking regional connectivity across the island.
