Air Iceland Connect, formerly Flugfélag Íslands ehf. (Icelandic: Flugfélag Íslands), is a regional airline with its head office at Reykjavík Airport in Reykjavík, Iceland. It operates scheduled services to domestic destinations across Iceland and to Greenland, Faroe Islands (operated by Atlantic Airways) and United Kingdom. Its main bases are Reykjavík Airport and Akureyri Airport. It is a subsidiary of Icelandair Group.

The airline was formed in Akureyri by Tryggvi Helgason as Norðurflug, and was incorporated as Flugfélag Norðurlands on 1 May 1975. A reorganisation and merger of Icelandair Domestic and Norlandair (Flugfélag Norðurlands) resulted in the present name in 1997. It is wholly owned by Icelandair Group and had 226 employees in March 2007.

In late 2011, Air Iceland acquired two Bombardier Dash 8-200 aircraft for delivery in early 2012. Upon delivery of these aircraft, Air Iceland sold its only Dash 8-100 series. It previously operated ATR 42 aircraft from 2000 to 2003.

A fleet of 3 Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 aircraft replaced the airline's 5 Fokker 50 aircraft in 2015-16. Services using the new aircraft include routes to Aberdeen which started in March 2016, and Belfast which begun in June 2017, flown out of Keflavík International Airport.

In May 2017, Air Iceland announced it had rebranded as Air Iceland Connect. The airline said in a statement that it had decided to modify its name owing to a number of factors such as increased exposure to international markets and tourists, increased co-operation with Icelandair and to simplify marketing, as the company’s dual name system has meant a significant increase in costs and has caused some passengers inconvenience and led to misunderstandings. Dropping the Icelandic name resulted in complaints about the attack on the Icelandic language.
