Interesting to see that we will have them this year, rather than the previously reported sporadic appearances next Feb/Mar/Apr.
 
Adds to the TATL competition... and perhaps demonstrates they are picking up market share.
 
Today was the first day of Icelandair B767 operations. There will be another one later this week and then semi-regular operations from February.

Manchester joins quite an elite club for the Icelandair B767, as with only 3-4 in the fleet, it's normally used in the busy trunk routes like Heathrow, New York, Paris, Copenhagen and Boston.
 
Just checking out MAN arrivals (on the MAN website) I noticed that we have FI444 arriving tomorrow at 8.20pm. Seems to be an extra sector and it's not the 1st one they've done as FI444 also came in on 29th May - on both occasions the "normal" FI440wasn't (isn't) operating. Not showing on the MAN arrivals page on FR24 but if you search for the flight, you see it's history.
 
Airlineroute has reported that the DHC8s will be on MAN services 2 weekly from 15th July to 14th September and will also be using leased A319s in July and August
 
As B737-MAX8 deliveries fall further and further behind a number of carriers are finding they haven't got the fleet strength they were planning around. Icelandair is one of those companies affected. We will likely continue to see afew interesting substitutions until the MAX issue is resolved.

My plans got altered slightly as one of the minibus companies had to cancel 3 trips and refunded me but will be getting nice discount when I rebook them.
wondering why on my "holidays" I choose to get up 2 hours earlier than when going to work. 6 trips in 6 days soon coming up with 3 more days to sort out
