It was a pleasure to fly the Icelandic women’s football team to the Women’s Euro 2022. We wish them the best of luck at the tournament in England and encourage everyone to cheer them on. The journey started with renewing the agreement we had with KSÍ - Knattspyrnusamband Íslands. It’s our mission to promote equality and support active leadership. Always, in every way that we can. #WEURO2022 bit.ly/3unBy0A | Icelandair
