We're still verifying Icelandair's current WiFi facts. The FAQs below cover general industry patterns — for Icelandair-specific reports, search a flight or check the data hub.
Provider Summary
Icelandair's in-flight WiFi is delivered by viasat. Speed and free-vs-paid availability vary by aircraft and route — check the data hub for aircraft-specific status. Typical speeds for viasat-equipped aircraft industry-wide: 12–25 Mbps typical per-passenger; 100+ Mbps to the aircraft.
WiFi Provider and Availability
Icelandair primarily utilizes Viasat for its in-flight WiFi services across its fleet. This includes the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and is expanding to the new Airbus A321LR jets. Most Icelandair aircraft are equipped with internet connectivity, available from the moment you board until you leave the plane.
However, WiFi is not available on smaller turboprop aircraft that operate domestic flights within Iceland or international routes to Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Passengers can expect connectivity on Airbus 321, Boeing 757, 767, and 737 aircraft.
Connection Speed and Expectations
The in-flight WiFi experience on Icelandair varies by aircraft type. On older systems, the connection speed is comparable to 3G on the ground, suitable for basic web browsing, email, and messaging. The number of users can sometimes affect the connection speed.
On newer Viasat-equipped aircraft, such as the Airbus A321LR and Boeing 737 MAX, the service aims to provide a home-quality broadband connection. This allows for more data-heavy usage, including streaming videos and music, with Viasat designed to maintain consistent quality even during high demand.
