Icelandair Pilot's Retirement Stunt Sparks Safety Concerns Among Residents
A veteran Icelandair pilot, Captain Ólafur Bragason, performed a low-altitude flyover of his hometown, Vestmannaeyjar, during his final flight, causing alarm among residents. The Boeing 757 flew approximately 330 feet above the scenic islands, a move that was unauthorized by the airline. The incident, captured in footage, showed the aircraft flying dangerously low over trees and rooftops, leading some residents to fear a potential crash. Although no injuries occurred, Icelandair has expressed disapproval of the stunt, emphasizing that it deviated from standard aviation procedures. The airline has initiated an internal review and reported the incident to the police.
