Any idea of the GLA schedule?
Nothing yet but some of the answers given are actually frightening.

1. The aircraft will not carry the designated number of lifevests, passengers can bring their own (i kid you not!!)
2. Passengers will not be charged when they book offering more flexibility
3. Lifevets have never saved any life in the Aviation industry

Icelandic CAA might have different ideas about life vests amongst other things

Should have stuck with the lube moniker. I have a feeling we're about to get shafted. :D

But in other Icelandic aviation news, it looks like the 737-Max wil be back amongst us fairly soon. The FAA have lifted the grounding order. Over to everyone else now. Spring 21 anyone ?

It was a mix before the grounding. And with Icelandair getting rid of a considerable chunk of it's 757 fleet recently, we'll be seeing more Max eventually. They have many more to receive including the 9 series as well as 8.
