Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden’s lead singer, has taken up a day job with Iceland Express flying the band’s official tour plane.
The rock star will fly the Iron Maiden tour plane Ed Force One for the low-cost carrier, when he is not touring with the band.
Iceland Express will use Ed Force One to operate some of its summer routes from Rejkjavik to Boston, Chicago, Winnipeg and New York.
Captain Dickinson said: “I love New York City and it is great to fly there – even better to fly there on the same Boeing 757 that we just flew around the world on our Final Frontier tour.
“I think it is very cool that the colours of the Iron Maiden livery have stayed on the plane, which of course was named Ed Force One by our Iron Maiden fans.”
From June, Iceland Express will fly daily to New York, fly new services to Chicago and Boston, and launch a new route from Edinburgh to Reykjavik and the USA.
