Refinancing Agreement with New Glitnir


As revealed in notices from Icelandair Group in connection with the publication
of its interim financial statements in 2008, the Group had notes amounting to
ISK 2.5 billion with payment due last 23 January. In co-operation with its
partner bank, New Glitnir, Icelandair Group has completed its refinancing of
the notes for the short term, i.e. for three months. Work has been in progress
in recent weeks on restructuring the company's finances, with this work
scheduled for completion within the next three months. The purpose of the
restructuring is to bring the repayment schedule of the company's debts into
line with its long-term payment capacity.
