Yes, Minister, use the water cannon

Helt oavsiktligt har jag råkat bli inbokad på Icelandairs premiärflygning från Dulles Airport till Reykjavik på tisdag, på min väg mot Skandinavien. Det lär bli lite annorlunda. Fann nämligen följande på nätet idag:

Washington Business Journal
Iceland Air takes off from Dulles International Airport
Date: Friday, May 13, 2011, 11:26am EDT

Iceland Air starts seasonal service from Dulles International Airport to its hometown Reykjavik starting next week, after a three-year hiatus from the Washington market.

Iceland Air pulled out of BWI/Marshall Airport in January 2008.

Its inaugural flight from Dulles is next Tuesday evening and appears to be a very big deal for the airline.

Iceland Air's first flight out of Dulles will get a water cannon salute, and reception at the gate will include Icelandair CEO Birkir Holm Gudnason as well as Iceland's Minister of Foreign Affairs Ossur Skarphedinsson.
