Iceland and Icelandair

Several years ago I took a small expedition ship cruise from Scotland to Iceland. On the way one of the stops we made was a small island 10 miles offshore of southern Iceland where the enclosure still remains where Keiko the whale was kept in a lovely bay. Iceland is quite beautiful but not interesting enough to me to return except as a fly through. A couple of the many remembrances I have is that puffin is on the menu and we were told (tongue in cheek) if we got lost in a forest to stand up.

Last year I flew on Air Niugini from Brisbane to Port Moresby, New Guinea on a Boeing 767-300. It was a surprise when I looked at my boarding pass and it said "Operated by Icelandair". The plane was painted with "Air Niugini" and it also said "White" on the tail and www.flywhite.com on the side. Would this be a company that leases planes?
