Icelandair’s flights were postponed as a result of the strike but, according to Gudjón Arngrímsson, the information officer of Icelandair, there will be no further delays, visir.is reports.
Arngrímsson said it will take one to two hours to until the delayed airplanes will be airborne. Twenty Icelandair planes are scheduled to either leave or arrive to the country today.
