What is now
Icelandair was the international part of the company Flugleiðir hf., basically just the english translation of the name. The domestic part was called Flugleiðir. They had the same logo

Recent move
Alvaldi pointed out to me on my talk page that on 18 February,
Aviationwikiflight moved this article from
1947 Héðinsfjörður air crash to its current title,
1947 Flugfélag Íslands DC-3 crash, "Per
WP:AVTITLE". I note that the aviation WikiProject prefers to name aviation accident/incident articles for the airline (and if possible the flight number), and I recognise that a redirect remains, but there is a
WP:COMMONNAME issue here; the crash is generally referred to in terms of the location, Héðinsfjörður. Note the name of the corresponding Icelandic article,
Flugslysið í Héðinsfirði. Alvaldi suggests that "plane crash" is more accurate than "air crash"; I think the move should be substantially reverted and the article moved to
1947 Héðinsfjörður plane crash. Note also the similar title
1986 Ljósufjöll air crash.

I agree, the crash is primarly referred to in sources to the Héðinsfjörður location, not the airline or the plane type.
1947 Héðinsfjörður plane crash is probably the best descriptive English title for the crash.

I've discussed with
Alvaldi and I proposed, that for this page + another one, to keep the title name with the original format but replacing air crash with plane crash, then, to have above the infobox, the original title + the title that I've put.
Ex: On the article of the
Smolensk air disaster, we can see that both the common name and the flight name.
@
Aviationwikiflight and
Alvaldi: Yes, please, move it to
1947 Héðinsfjörður plane crash. (I don't have any big feelings about "plane crash"; I probably chose "air crash" because some crashes involve helicopters, but I suspect there's an
ENGVAR issue, so I'm fine with "plane crash".)
