Air Iceland Connect, formerly Air Iceland (Icelandic: Flugfélag Íslands) was[1] a regional airline with its head office at Reykjavík Airport in Reykjavík, Iceland.[2] It operates scheduled services under the brand of its parent company, Icelandair, to domestic destinations across Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Its main bases are Reykjavík Airport and Akureyri Airport.[3]

It is a subsidiary of Icelandair Group[4][5] and merged with Icelandair in 2021, being fully absorbed into the parent company, while at the same time still operating flights under the name of its parent company.[1] As of 2024, domestic Icelandair flights are still operated under Flugfélag Íslands Air Operator's Certificate, which is still active.[6]
