Icelandair: "A notice published on 19 April 2010 revealed that restrictions on air traffic resulting from the volcanic activity in Eyjafjallajökull had a significant impact on the operation of the Group ... The long-term prospects for Icelandair Group's operations are favourable. In the opinion of the Company's management the financial restructuring of Icelandair Group will result in a significant downsizing of the company's balance sheet and contribute to a better adaptation of the repayment burden of loans to the payment capacity of the company."
