Ipalamente yase-Iceland ipasise umthetho ngoMvulo emva kwemini ukuba kupheliswe uqhankqalazo lwabamatshini base-Icelandair oluthathe iiyure ezili-16. Iinqwelomoya ezininzi ze-Icelandair ukusuka e-Iceland ukuya eYurophu zalibaziseka iiyure ezili-12.
Usihlalo wekomiti yothethathethwano ye-Icelandair mechanic, uKristjan Kristjansson, uvakalise ukuphoxeka okukhulu kwisigqibo sikarhulumente sokurhoxisa ilungelo lomanyano lokuqhankqalaza ngokuwisa umthetho. Umphathiswa wePalamente uthi ilizwe alikwazi ukumelana nengxabano yezabasebenzi ngoku ngenxa yoqoqosho olubuthathaka ngenxa yokuwa kwecandelo leebhanki ngo-Okthobha ka-2008.
Ngaphambi koqhankqalazo, imanyano yabakhandi yakhaba i-Icelandair yokunyuselwa umvuzo we-11 ekhulwini. Amagosa karhulumente atyhola ukuba iimfuno zoomatshini azikho ngqiqweni xa kujongwa imeko yezoqoqosho yeli lizwe. Ukungabikho kwemisebenzi kukufutshane neepesenti ze-9, irekhodi eliphezulu ukususela kwi-WWII; imivuzo yabasebenzi ngokubanzi yehlile ngenxa yokucuthwa kwexesha elongezelelekileyo kwaye kwabakho udliwano-ndlebe lokunyuswa kwemivuzo ebekuxoxwa ngayo ngaphambili.
Umnumzana Kristjansson ubonisa ukuba abaqhubi be-Icelandair benza uthethathethwano lokunyusa imivuzo kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo kwaye i-airline ixakekile kwaye iinkonzo zoomatshini e-Iceland zingabizi kakhulu kunakumazwe amaninzi aseYurophu, ngenxa yokuba imali yasekhaya yehle ngama-50 ekhulwini ngo-Oktobha ka-2008.
Ishedyuli ye-Icelandair kulindeleke ukuba ibuye ngokulandelelana ngoLwesibini.
