How is it possible to fly a transatlantic flight from Iceland? Doesn't a transatlantic flight have to cross the Atlantic?

The bulk of Icelandair's passengers do cross the Atlantic, using Iceland only as a stopover.

Technically a flight from Iceland to Greenland would be considerd trans-atlantic.

That's what I was thinking, aren't all flights to and from Iceland trans-atlatic? They do cross the Atlatic at least... --Bjarki 16:30, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Trans atlantic does imply that the entire Atlantic ocean is crossed which is certainly noth the case in these instances. Crossing the Atlantic is a more borderline case.

Logo?

Why is the official logo constantly reverted to the current one?

Because this is their offical logo just go to www.icelandair.com (.net .is .co.uk ect.)

The current logo in the article is the one that can be found in the publicity material section of their website. The one with the blue background is also there but that's for Icelandair Group which is the parent company of Icelandair. --Bjarki 16:11, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

To sum up the logo with the blue background is not available on their website. There is only a similar logo for The parent company of Icelandair (icelandair group). This means that Icelandair does not want that logo to be used but rather the one with the white background. Just look for yourself and see what logo is available under 'Icelandair Logo' on their website. http://www.icelandair.com/home/support-navigation/about-us/press-center/photo-gallery/

Both the blue logo and the white logo are to be found on the official Icelandair websit here [1] Dbertman 16:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
