Not good publicity for Icelandair, Menzies Aviation and unfortunately GLA

I see an ETD of 2350 being quoted . . . . FR24 have 1400 tomorrow!

TF-ICU is the allocated aircraft . . . having just flown CDG-KEF so needs to position from KEF

Positioning flight FI8430

Icelandair website says 00:30 departure. Replacement aircraft for the tech 757 is due 23:45 per FR24.

FR24 might have confused earlier planned departure of 1400 this afternoon of TF-FIO as ICE433

TF-ICU got away at 01:05 on Saturday, arriving KEF 02:03, nearly 36 hours late. Hope they had hotel beds booked for the passengers. TF-FIO remains at GLA, presumably awaiting engineers to fix it.
