KEF
If KEF was to happen from NCL there's really two possibilities, one is that EZY use one of the aircraft they have sitting around on certain days during the winter to start a seasonal flight to test the water, but I very much doubt they'd continue it into the summer when they can make more from the bucket and spade routes.
The second and what I think would be more viable option would be Icelandair or WOW, mainly because they can sell onward connections, I think the latter would probably be the better bet from NCL purely because of ticket price.
Not sure how much of a market there would be for cargo but I know EZY doesn't carry it and FI does, not sure about WOW.

I actually think our best chances for a KEF flight, lie in:
Thomson - winter seasonal
easyjet
Jet2 - if they were to start Iceland... Which I can see not too far off
Wow air
Icelandair (opb Air Iceland) - which I sincerely hope we DO NOT get

A few years ago I had not long boarded a plane when smoke started filling the plane. I think I heard it was from the hydraulics but it was like mustard gas and I am b. pleased I wasn't at 30,000ft.

The "troubled" Condor D-ABUK
Looks like the bird is sick again - Departed Varadero yesterday evening for FRA, but didn't make Bahamas (33,000ft) before turning around to return to VRA 40mins later.https://www.flightradar24.com/data/f...e2198/#e3b3d64

To me it's all too easy to simply say " we have excellent inspection & maintenance programs". These guys are pushing the boundaries, when most of the 73's that came off the production line at around this time are long gone.

I really wonder just how many pax would actually be comfortable flying in a 30+ year old aircraft if they were aware of this.

I agree.
I get my car serviced regularly but I wouldn't want to be driving a 30 year old one without breakdown cover which, of course, wouldn't be much help at 30,000ft.
