At the time International Air Transport Association (IATA) controlled its members' fares. As a non-member, Icelandic (as the company was then known) was able to significantly undercut other transatlantic carriers' pricing, and it began service from New York to Luxembourg in 1955. According to Gudjon Arngrimsson, Icelandair's current Vice President for Corporate Communication, Helgason was a "very key player" in the strategy.Helgason managed the American operations of the company from 1961 to 1973, at which point he returned to Reykjavík to become CEO of Icelandair. He stepped down as chief executive in 1984, assuming the position of chairman until retirement in 1991. He then lived In Iceland, Mustique, and New York. Helgason's main interest after retirement were fly fishing and the International House of New York. He leased many rivers across Iceland including the Hofsa. As part of the International House of New York he served on the board of directors, where he won the Harry Edmonds AwardHelgason died aged 87 in Mustique, the Grenadines, where he spent winters. Helgason was the first and only non-native to be buried on the island.".
