Icelandair to open technical services centre in Vilnius

Iceland’s flag carrier Icelandair is establishing a technical services centre in Vilnius. Opening in May 2026, the new division will employ 15 specialists in its first year across roles including CAMO engineers, planning engineers, technical records specialists, and maintenance coordinators. 

As Icelandair’s first dedicated technical aviation operation in the region, the Lithuanian team will take responsibility for the airline’s third-party technical services. The expansion builds on the carrier’s existing presence in the Baltics through Icelandair Business Services, its long-standing subsidiary in Tallinn, which has provided accounting, ticketing, and back-office services for Icelandair since 2002. 

Icelandair, founded in 1937, operates a route network spanning more than 50 destinations across Europe and North America. The airline surpassed five million passengers for the first time in 2025 and is currently in the midst of a fleet overhaul, introducing new Airbus A321LR aircraft alongside its Boeing 737 MAX jets.
