Eagle Air (Icelandic name: Flugfélagið Ernir) is an Icelandic airline. It is based at Reykjavík Airport and offers domestic flights, charter services, and adventure tours in Iceland.

Company history

Eagle Air was founded in 1970 by Hörður Guðmundsson and his family as a transportation and security link in the Westfjords, one of the most remote parts of Iceland. The airline’s initial focus was on ambulance and mail services. Propeller-driven aircraft operated by Eagle Air included the Helio Courier, Britten-Norman Islander, Piper Aztec, Piper Chieftain, Cessna Titan, de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter, Cessna 206 and Cessna 185.[2] Eagle Air also had a domestic charter flight component, which moved into the international arena in the early 1980s. Eagle Air flew charters to airports in Iceland, Greenland, Scandinavia and Europe.{{cn|date=August 2018}}

According to the Official Airline Guide (OAG), in 1983 Eagle Air was operating scheduled jet service with Boeing 737-200 aircraft between Keflavik International Airport (KEF) and several destinations in western Europe including Amsterdam (AMS), Düsseldorf (DUS) and Zurich (ZRH). [3] At the time Eagle Air was flying Boeing 737 combi aircraft, which can be operated either in an all-passenger configuration or to carry a mixed load of passengers and freight on the main deck.[4] By 1989, the airline had expanded its scheduled Boeing 737-200 service to western Europe with Brussels (BRU), Geneva (GVA), Hamburg (HAM), Milan (MXP) and Munich (MUC) being added to its route network.[5] Eagle Air also operated other jet aircraft types in the past in charter operations including the Boeing 707, Boeing 720B and the stretched Douglas DC-8-61 ("Super DC-8").[6]

Eagle Air ceased operations in 1995 and was refounded in Reykjavík in 2003, in 2007 taking over service to destinations where Air Iceland stopped flying.[2] It began scheduled services to Árneshreppur, Bíldudalur, Höfn, and Sauðárkrókur, and in August 2010 to Heimaey in the Westman Islands.[7]
