Behind the scenes at Icelandair: Training and maintenance | Icelandair

Welcome aboard – behind the scenes at Icelandair

Are you curious about how we train our pilots and inspect our airplanes?

The largest and most important part of our core operations is ensuring the safety of our passengers, but most of this work goes on behind the scenes. We go the extra mile when it comes to training and maintenance: our crew gets world-class training, and our team of air mechanics is always busy inspecting our fleet.

We operate a dedicated training center in Hafnarfjörður (Iceland), close to the international airport, where we train all our staff. Our pilots have access to three flight simulators, our cabin crew members complete their basic training and recurring training there too, and every employee from across the company benefits from the work that goes on at the center in one way or another.

At our hangar by Keflavík airport, hundreds of mechanics carry out their maintenance tasks according to carefully planned schedules. Icelandair aircraft are inspected before and after each flight by both mechanics and pilots and are then pulled off the line for more detailed A, B and C inspections at regular intervals.

There’s much more to it than this, but in this instance, a video is worth at least a thousand words. Take a look at the video below and meet the employees working hard behind the scenes.
