AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Travel & Transport: easyJet has announced two new winter routes from Liverpool John Lennon Airport—Reykjavik starting 2 Nov 2026 (twice weekly) and Finnish Lapland’s Kittilä from 25 Nov 2026 (twice weekly)—giving UK travellers a direct winter gateway to Iceland’s geothermal sights and Northern Lights. Public Safety: A driver died after a head-on crash on Hálsasveitarvegur north of Reykholt on June 16; two passenger vehicles collided and those involved were airlifted to Landspítali. Whaling & Activism: Icelandic whaling is set to resume after a two-year pause, with two vessels leaving Reykjavík for preparatory work; meanwhile, a protest-related complaint has been lodged after an activist was allegedly registered as a passenger without consent. Civic Life: Reykjanesbær has asked all local institutions to fly the Icelandic flag continuously through summer, following updated rules allowing 24/7 display from 1 May to 15 August. Education Policy: The Teachers’ Association is urging flexibility in proposed primary-school smartphone rules, warning strict bans could create enforcement problems and unnecessary conflict. Cybersecurity: Varist launched a DICOM Detection Engine aimed at spotting malware hidden in medical imaging and health-record files. Midsummer Logistics: Traffic restrictions are planned around Þingvellir for the Bergmál festival on June 20, with road closures from 15:00 to midnight.
