Icelandair, as posted earlier, is adding 2 more 757-200s. Now it is known which aircraft will join the fleet; c/n 26248 and c/n 26254, both coming from I-Fly of Russia, are currently at Keflavik. After maintenance, repaint and interior modifications, both aircraft will enter service.
Everything on this great aircraft
I’m not sure that the above information is correct.
EI-DUA is back with i-FLY.
I just think that the plane has been the maintenance of Icelandair, but maybe there is something I do not know
Thanks for your comment; the 2 aircraft from I-FLY are EI-DUC (c/n 26248) and EI-ERF (c/n 26254); If I mentioned EI-DUC somewhere, please let me know and I will change that.
Icelandair must actually use 3 new 757 aircraft in 2015, as the company expands their routes more than planned
Sorry I read wrong about one in-FLY-planes. So maybe you’re right anyway.
Where the last flight comes from, will be exciting. But Icelandair is always good for an American Airlines-commerce
There are enough American Airlines 757s available for sure! Icelandair seems to like the ex-Iberia aircraft, and most of I-Fly 757s are.
N636AM/cn24594 was ferried VCV-YVR-HNL-SPN-CAN for C-Check, to then be ferried to KEF to enter operations – to be registered TF-ISY
N642AA/cn24600 is in ROW or VCV, to be ferried to KEF for C-check, and EIS, to be registered TF-ISZ
EI-ERF/cn26254 is either in KEF or soon to be in KEF for C-check, EIS near end of April, registration not yet known
3 former Monarch B757 were purchased by Icelandair, for part out and scrapping. Registrations unknown.
Registrations were DAJB, MONJ and MONK. 3 aircraft that have served wonderfully since the late 1980’s and deserved better.
Shame on you Icelandair
Oh, and I forgot, TF-FIC/cn30735 was recently fitted with winglets in YHM (last Monday)
Thanks for updates!
EI-ERF/cn 26254 to be registered TF-FIK // will enter service April 2015
When is N636AM / cn24594 back form China with Icelandair?
registration N636AM was cancelled April 8th and registered TF-ISY with Icelandair; I guess that the aircraft will join the Icelandair fleet soon.
Is EI-DUC a new Icelandair-aircraft, since the aircraft is stored in KEF??
The only info I have, is that aircraft was returned to lessor; I have no indication that it is going to Icelandair at this moment.
