p.s. Great shots of the 757’s. TF-FIR appears to be all white scheme. For who was the aircraft previously operating??

Excellent pics, B753s don’t seem to make an appearance at GLA very often, I must have been lucky! 😉

Iceland actually has a small population and very few cities or, indeed, large towns.

Maybe the market just isn’t there for more flights?

Can I ask why very few if any major carriers like BA dont fly to iceland.Would a flight to feed connections into LHR,CDG,AMS or FRA not work for any of the major carriers or is there just no market in Iceland for many european flights.I know icelandair operate a resonable amount of european flights and iceland express seem to be doing quite well so why no other flights?

Never thought Icelandair had 727’s…

Yes they did. They operated the type until around 1990, I flew loads of times on them, including several flights from Glasgow in 1988/89. My only 727 flights were with Icelandair. The FI 727s were replaced by the Boeing 737-400, which in turn was replaced by the 757.

A strange fact is that Icelandair operated the *only* scheduled air service by a Boeing 727 to any Scottish airport even when the 727 was the worlds most numerous jetliner.

And here’s some 757’s at GLA –
