      Wow what's a registration?
      Icelandair operates a once a year charter to Colombo, SL but I never see this one in LHR or in CMB. Is it special aircraft for VVIPs?

          Indeed TF-FIU. 'Hekla Aurora' or 'Northern light'. Painted to attract tourism to Iceland.

            I may find it a bit comical.

            While the Island paradise isn't doing much to push for safe tourism, Iceland is going places.

            As of now, every season there are close to 10,000 tourists flying to Iceland from Singapore, and twice that number from Malaysia. For a country with next to nothing to attract that kind of mostly single travelers, I guess The folks in Reykjavík are doing something right.

            And mostly single women, who have no fear being alone with strangers in Iceland - and Singaporeans are all fearful of robbery etc outside their comfort zone of Singapore - only Iceland has similiar attraction.

            In the meantime, our locals are still trying to kill each other, and demanding entry to foreigner only resorts .. no offense but it is too much to explain and share.
