Good morning, and thank you for joining us on this webcast presenting our fourth-quarter and full year results at Icelandair for last year 2024. My name is Bogi Bogason, CEO of Icelandair. And as usual, here with me is Ivar Sigurour Kristinsson, our CFO.
And we will run through our presentation. And when we are done with that, we will have a Q&A session. And please send those questions the e-mail address is [email protected].
But before we start the presentation, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the tragic incident in Washington, D.C. Our hearts and thoughts at Icelandair go out to the people on board of the aircraft and the helicopter and their families.
To the key highlights of last year. During that year, we have had a laser-focus on efficiency, and we've seen a positive development in many areas of our operations. On-time performance improved a lot between years where we consistently ranked among the most punctual airlines in Europe.
