  • Icelandair leverer en utrolig forestilling der de ansatte står i sentrum av den unike underholdningen, for å vise at reisen er like viktig som destinasjonen
  • Forestillingen "Ahead of Time" gikk over tre akter, og ble ledet av Gideon Reeling. Den foregikk på en 11 timers lang flytur fra Heathrow til JFK via Island.
  • Handlingen er inspirert av den progressive filosofien flyselskapet har utviklet i løpet av sin 80 år lange historie som foregangsselskap for fremming av kvinnelige talenter.
  • "Opening Flight" er startskuddet for  Stopover Pass, en serie gratisforestillinger for passasjerene, med Icelandair-ansatte og islandske talenter som skuespillere.
  • Tilbudet ble lansert som svar på kundenes ønske om bedre kundeservice og mer original underholdning med mellommenneskelig kontakt.
  • Du kan konvertere boardingkortet til et Stopover Pass gratis: icelandair.us/stopover-pass

Icelandair tilbyr banebrytende underholdning ombord; en teaterproduksjon som heter "Ahead of Time". Skuespillerne var talentfulle Icelandair-ansatte og utdannede skuespillere som underholdt publikum fra avgangen fra Heathrow til landingen på JFK. Denne enestående begivenheten strakk seg over 11 timer og tre land, med den transatlantiske reisen som en unik scene for forestillingen.

For å bidra til å realisere denne imponerende produksjonen, samarbeidet flyselskapet med teatereksperten Gideon Reeling. Handlingen feiret Icelandairs 80-årsjubileum ved å vekke til live deres rolle som pionerer for moderne reiser. Inspirasjonen var selskapets rike historie. Hovedpersonen Edda tok publikum med på en inspirerende og underholdende tidsreise som speilet flyselskapets progressive og fremtidsvennlige filosofi, med kvinnelige talenter og likestilling som del av temaet.

  • Island vedtok stemmerett for kvinner i 1915, som ett av de første landene i verden.
  • Icelandair har røtter helt tilbake til 1937, da flyselskapet Flugfélag Akureyrar ble grunnlagt i Akureyri på nordkysten av Island  
  • I 1985 ansatte Icelandair den første kvinnelige piloten, Sigríôur Einarsdóttir
  • I 1989 ble Vigdis Finnbogadóttir verdens første demokratisk valgte kvinnelige president og ga navn til Islandsairs første Boeing 737-400
  • Kvinnedagen 1999: Kun kvinnelige ansatte fløy et av Icelandairs fly for første gang

Tidsreisen tok kundene med til forskjellige epoker over mer enn 80 år. Passasjerene opplevde livet før internett, for et innblikk i hvordan man bestilte flyreiser før digitalalderen: Bestillingene ble skrevet ned på kort og lagret i en skoeske! Publikum fikk også en meny inspirert fra 1950-tallet, en sikkerhetsdemonstrasjon av en flyvertinne fra det svingende sekstitallet, en moderne ballettprestasjon ved boarding og til og med en serenade fra en bonde fra 1937 som sang en islandsk folkesang. En beskjed fra piloten dro tankene mot mulighetene for fremtidens flyreiser, med månelandinger som en realitet. Gjestene fikk også en personlig melding om å bruke egne talenter.

Kolbrún Aðalbjörg Hjartardóttir, som spilte Edda, sa:  "Forberedelsen for denne forestillingen var veldig lærerik, morsom og en reise i seg selv. Jeg er stolt av å kunne vise frem mitt lands historie og være en del av noe som virkelig er inspirerende for andre."

Icelandair satte en ny standard for kundeservice ved å arrangere skuespillerkurs, i samarbeid med Gideon Reeling, for å legge teaterferdigheter til de ansattes repertoar. Teaterekspertene ledet også den kreative regien og produksjonen av forestillingen, inkludert øvelser, lydopplevelse, menyutvikling og innsamling eller gjenskaping av arkivrekvisita og periodekostymer.

Kate Hargreaves, grunnlegger av Gideon Reeling, sa: "Det var en stor utfordring å skape denne forestillingen, så prosjektet var veldig spennende. Vi har laget teater på uvanlige steder, men aldri laget et show som startet i ett land, hoppet til et annet og endte opp i et tredje på samme dag. Det var en utrolig opplevelse å jobbe med Icelandairs ansatte, og deres holdning og energi og vilje til å stole på arbeidet vårt har bidratt til å gjøre det til en stor suksess."

Icelandairs historie utviser engasjement for kundene og viser hvordan de har fortsatt å fly i møte med motgang. Dette vises ved at de fortsatte å fly da andre selskaper var strandet på grunn av den vulkanske askeskyen som ble kastet opp fra vulkanen Eyjafjallajökull i 2010.

"Ahead of Time" er den første i Stopover Pass-serien med gratis forestillinger for Icelandair-passasjerer, som blir arrangert for å feire 80-årsjubileet . Dette ble lansert som følge av undersøkelser som viste at passasjerene nå krever bedre kundeservice og mer unik underholdning med mellommenneskelig kontakt. Icelandair utfører begge med stil.  

Birkir Hólm Guðnason, adm. dir. for Icelandair, sa: "Gjennom 80 år har vi alltid hatt kundeservice i fokus, og vi er glade for å være pionerer for en ny form for underholdning og verdiskapende service for passasjerene. Vår respons til undersøkelsen var å skape Stopover Pass, som tar sikte på å erstatte bortkastet reisetid med gode reiseminner."
