New York / Washington / Reykjavik (eNewsPR) 15 October 2007 – Icelandair.com was recently awarded the ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’ at this year’s Interactive Media Awards in the US.

Icelandair, in partnership with IT firm Amadeus, scored 475 out of a possible 500, doing especially well in the fields of content, usability and design. The Interactive Media Awards is an annual international competition designed to recognise excellence in website design, innovation and development.
