Icelandair has announced that they are set to retire seven B757-200s from their 23-strong B757-200-fleet. Three of the planes (TF-FIS/FIT/LLX) have been sold and will be converted into freighters for a new operator. The other four (TF-FIJ/ISF/ISL/ISY) are scheduled to fly to Roswell (NM) for scrapping.

It's also been said that the airline is planning to store nine further B757s at Roswell (NM) as the airline doesn't have the need for this capacity. A decision about this is expected shortly.

Once airtravel recovers, Icelandair plans to add a new type to the fleet. It confirmed these plans as recently as last August in a presentation to its shareholders. In January, Icelandair's CEO mentioned that its future fleet could consist of the B737MAX and A321neoLR.
