Iceland Air fires ALL flight attendants!

After contract negotiations between Icelandic Cabin Crew Association (FFI) and Icelandair (FI) fell through, the airline has decided to permanently terminate all cabin crew in their network. 

This decision comes after lengthy negotiations between the airline and FFI on conditions and time off for flight attendants fell through.

As of July 20, FI will temporarily employ its surplused pilots to assume responsibility for onboard service and safety. Due to COVID-19, onboard service will continue to be reduced significantly. 

In a press release, Icelandair stated, “On 8 July, the members of the Icelandic Cabin Crew Association, rejected a new collective-bargaining agreement which had been agreed to and signed between the parties’ negotiation committees.”
