On Flightaware I noticed a flight labeled AEU443 that is scheduled to go from KEF to SFB. Normally this it the route operated by Icelandair 689 and indeed it arrived as scheduled last night. The operator is listed as "United Air Express Limited". Who is this operator and does anyone know the purpose of this flight?

'AEU' is the ICAO code for Astraeus Airlines. Although Astraeus has its HQ and is based at Gatwick it is, like Iceland Express, owned by the Icelandic company Eignarhaldsfelagid Fengur hf.
Astraeus is primarily an ACMI operator and its largest 'customer' is Iceland Express.
Currently this aircraft, operated by Astraeus and painted in Iceland Express livery:
