Our main aim is to get those who wish to travel to their destination through other Icelandair destinations or without partner airlines. The flights that are bookable in our systems, but, because of the fast-changing environment and market conditions, we make changes to these flights, if necessary less than 48 hours before departure, first and foremost to ensure that we get our customers safely and surely to their destinations.
