Icelandair saw a 10% increase in passenger traffic last month, carrying 458,000 customers.
The load factor was 83% while on-time performance was 86.6%, up by 5.6% year-over-year.
This is the highest load factor rate since 2009.
Year-to-date, Icelandair has transported 3.6 million passengers, 8% more than last year.
Bogi Nils Bogason, President and CEO of Icelandair: “It is pleasant to see continued increase in the number of passengers and outstanding on-time performance in September.”
The airline continues to expand its route network with new destinations and strategic partnerships.
In summer 2025, it will introduce Nashville, Tennessee as a new destination, and later this month, begins services to Lisbon, Portugal.
In September, Icelandair announced a partnership with Southwest Airlines, as the Dallas based carrier’s first airline partner.
“The importance of strong partners cannot be underestimated for our business as around 10% of total revenues are derived from partnerships and as high as 40% of revenues on individual routes,” Bogason added.
“We are excited to further expand our global partnership network and offer our customers an even wider range of destinations.”
