Today was the first day of Icelandair B767 operations. There will be another one later this week and then semi-regular operations from February.
Manchester joins quite an elite club for the Icelandair B767, as with only 3-4 in the fleet, it's normally used in the busy trunk routes like Heathrow, New York, Paris, Copenhagen and Boston.
Just checking out MAN arrivals (on the MAN website) I noticed that we have FI444 arriving tomorrow at 8.20pm. Seems to be an extra sector and it's not the 1st one they've done as FI444 also came in on 29th May - on both occasions the "normal" FI440wasn't (isn't) operating. Not showing on the MAN arrivals page on FR24 but if you search for the flight, you see it's history.
Airlineroute has reported that the DHC8s will be on MAN services 2 weekly from 15th July to 14th September and will also be using leased A319s in July and August
As B737-MAX8 deliveries fall further and further behind a number of carriers are finding they haven't got the fleet strength they were planning around. Icelandair is one of those companies affected. We will likely continue to see afew interesting substitutions until the MAX issue is resolved.

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow
For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
LBA: B737-300 G-GDFK empty down to Paris at 16:15 to operate the return LS268 back to Leeds 20:00 ETA where it will then operate the delayed LS265 to Malaga 20:40ETD
