Apr 30, 2024 (newstodate): Icelandair is building up its fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in 2024 that will see three new deliveries.
   On April 29, 2024, the carrier thus received the second of the three new aircraft this year, an ex-factory Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, following the delivery earlier this year of an ex-Norwegian Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
   In the fleet are thus now 16 Boeing 737 MAX 8 as well as nine Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft.
   The Boeing 737 MAX will continue to serve the carrier at least for the next 10 years, while the future will rest with the introduction of new Airbus A321 aircraft.
   In 2023, Icelandair signed an MoU for the purchase of 13 Airbus A321XLR aircraft, with purchase rights for another 12 aircraft.
   In 2025, Icelandair will take delivery of its first four A321LR aircraft on a lease contract, while the Airbus A321XLR machines will follow from 2029.
   Icelandair now plans to see the first of its currently 19 Boeing 757-200 aircraft leaving the fleet from 2026.
