Four Italian Air Force Typhoon jets have arrived at Iceland’s Keflavik Air Base, and from Tuesday the 4th of September, they have been ensuring the safety of Iceland’s airspace.

NATO say that over the next few weeks, the Italian pilots will provide intercept capabilities and train together with the Icelandic Coast Guard and the NATO Control and Reporting Centre. The Italian jets will complement the air surveillance which Iceland executes with its four remote radar and communication sites.
