​As football fans across the UK gear up for a summer of high-stakes games, new research from easyJet holidays reveals that the traditional holiday is being traded for the ‘fan-cation’, with Brits going to extraordinary lengths to ensure they don’t miss a single minute of the World Cup action.

A study of British holidaymakers reveals a clear divide between relaxation and team loyalty. With tournament matches kicking off as late as 1 am UK time due to the transatlantic time difference, fans are refusing to let a change of scenery get in the way of their passion. Trading the living room sofa for a Mediterranean sun lounger, travellers are actively seeking out destinations that lean into the tournament atmosphere.  

​AEGEAN and Icelandair have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a codeshare partnership, aiming to boost the connectivity between Greece and Iceland and expand the travel options of their passengers.

This partnership will allow passengers to travel across the AEGEAN and Icelandair networks under a single booking, enjoying a seamless travel experience. Icelandair passengers will gain access to destinations across Greece, while AEGEAN passengers will be able to travel to Iceland. Additional details regarding the codeshare routes will be provided in due course.

The MoU was signed on the sidelines of the 82nd IATA AGM, held in Rio de Janeiro.  

​Air India, India’s leading global airline, and Thai Airways International (THAI), Thailand’s national carrier, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) building on their existing interline agreement, to explore a deeper partnership aimed at boosting connectivity between Thailand, India, and destinations beyond, leveraging each other’s global network strengths.

The MoU was signed on 07 June 2026 on the sidelines of the ongoing IATA AGM in Rio de Jeneiro, Brazil.  

​The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), together with public and private sector partners, is presenting the Amazing Thailand Grand Sale 2026 from June to August, inviting Thai and international tourists to discover Thai brands, local identity, and creative tourism experiences under the concept Unforgettable Experience of Thai Brands.

Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor, said, “The next value of Thai tourism will come from experiences travellers remember, share, and return to. Amazing Thailand Grand Sale 2026 is designed to make Thai brands a living expression of Thailand’s creativity, from fashion and craft to lifestyle and community products. When a purchase carries a story of place and people, it extends the journey beyond the trip and creates lasting value for Thailand.”  

​In May 2026, Icelandair transported 464 thousand passengers, an increase of 4% year-on-year. Passenger distribution was as follows: 30% traveled to Iceland, 19% from Iceland, 45% were connecting passengers, and 5% traveled within Iceland.

The number of passengers traveling to and from Iceland increased by 8% and 24% respectively, while connecting passengers decreased by 5%. This reflects the Company’s focus on the currently higher yielding markets to and from Iceland.
