This information is being processed on you to process your application for a discount on domestic fares to and from the Capital Region and submit directly to the payment process the subsidy to which you are entitled.

Dissemination of personal data and authorisation for processing

Your flight information will not be forwarded and will only be available to you on airbru.island.is. The Icelandic Road Administration receives, however, certain non-personal information from airbrush.island.is in order to have an overview of the utilization and distribution of the rebate.

The project itself is based on an aviation policy presented in the transportation plan in accordance with a parliamentary resolution on the transportation plan for 2020-2034 and a parliamentary resolution on the transportation plan for 2020-2024, which was approved by the Althingi in the summer of 2020. The Icelandic Road Administration was entrusted with the task on the basis of point 2, Article 7 of the Act on Road Administration, No. 120/2012, which stipulates that it shall oversee the administration of grants for public transport.
