BA Cityflyer
BA got the 15% shareholding in Flybe in the transfer of regional routes, and aircraft, to them when they let go of the regions.
Long ago this shareholding were downvalued in the BA books to £1. Keeping them let them have a say in the management, I think it got them a seat on the board, but I don't believe Flybe paid a dividend all the time that the shares were held.

BA will have a real advantage though by taking you straight into the city (RKV) rather than to KEF like everyone else. Pax will love it, they'll be in their hotels 25 mins after touchdown.

I stand corrected. I was told RKV, and it was listed on the airport's wiki page when I looked up the runway length (now removed). Interestingly I believe both the E170 and 190 could operate from there and they can handle international services. Does anyone know if there are any restrictions at RKV - it could have been an interesting opportunity.

Reykjavik to London is more than twice as far as Reykjavik to the Faeroe Islands.
Unlike Keflavik (over 3,000 metres), Reykjavik's longest runway is not very long (1,567 metres)
I don't have access to performance data, but would London to RKV really be feasible on a consistent basis with very few diverts to Keflavik, especially given that Iceland is known for sometimes getting some pretty lousy weather ? Without wishing to disrepect anyone or their abilities, I suspect also that pilots based in the Faeroe Islands are by necessity perhaps more used to dealing with a short runway in really bad weather (Vagar) compared to those working at BACF

RKV s KEF
To the best of my knowledge the only airlines with rights to operate directly into Reykjavik City (Domestic) airport are Air Iceland Connect and Atlantic Airways, the former in DH8 and later 319's. I believe the Atlantic Airways flights from Vagar have now ceased and Air Icelands only international flights from there are to Greenland. The terminal facilities at RKV are basic, I was amazed that you don't have to pass through security (neither hold baggage) for a domestic flight.
Still delighted to see KEF direct from LCY, the demand for Iceland remain huge and rightfully so, it's one of the most awe inspiring countries in Europe
