Medical-supply plane draws heart over Reykjavik

Posted by Adrian Brown on 20 April 2020

Flightradar24, a global flight-tracking service, recently witnessed an Icelandair Boeing 767 draw a heart over Reykjavik in Iceland as it arrived with medical supplies from China.

According to Flightradar24, the service provides real-time information about thousands of aircraft around the world. ‘Flightradar24 tracks 180,000+ flights, from 1,200+ airlines, flying to or from 4,000+ airports around the world in real time,’ the site proclaims.

On Sunday 19 April, the company shared a curious but heartwarming finding on Twitter.

With the coronavirus pandemic causing tremendous distress and health issues across the world, and bringing the tourism (and airline) industry to a standstill, it’s great to see that pilots and cabin crew are in good spirits.

Flightradar24 seems to have a keen eye for those who are helping fight COVID-19. Just before the ‘drawing’ of hearts in the sky, the tracking service also showed the route Titan Airways took to ‘one of the most remote islands in the world’, St Helena, for a medical supply drop-off.

Over the weekend, airlines challenged one another to show off their planes, in light of their shared struggles in the industry at this time.
