Icelandair fires all its cabin crew 

Negotiations between Icelandic Cabin Crew Association and Icelandair have collapses and the carrier has fired all its inflight staff. Talks with pilots’ and engineers’ unions have been successful and it is expected that they will also act as cabin crew. Starting July 20, Icelandair pilots not rostered for flying duty will take on the “responsibility for safety on board.” Icelandair is presently flying from its hub at Keflavik airport near Reykjavik to Amsterdam, Boston, Copenhagen, Frankfurt and Hamburg, but not to the UK.
