Game Over for WOW?
Looks like they have started to cancel flights. Never a good sign...…

They also have an A321 stuck in Montreal; repossessed due to missed lease payments. I think it is game over.
|
An Icelandic associate gives the following count:
- 11 A320/A321s in the fleet - One reposessed in Montreal - One repossesed in Miami - One in Ljubljana for maintenance - One held at Keflavik by Isavia as collateral for a debt (apparently legal, even though it's only leased by WOW) That leaves them with seven jets, and they have eight morning flights, so cancellations are pretty much unavoidable. |
or maybe its not over.....

All flights currently grounded until further notice. |
Game over indeed. I'm currently stuck in LGW with a worthless WOW booking to BOS via KEF. People arriving at check-in are handed the following:-
End of Operation of WOW AIRInformation for WOW AIR passengersWOW AIR has ceased operation. All WOW AIR flights have been cancelled.How will I reach my destination?Passengers are advised to check available flights with other airlines.Some airlines may offer flights at a reduced rate, so-called rescue fares, in light of the circumstances. Information on those airlines will be published, when it becomes available. |
Sad day for all involved at WOW, I hope they find something quickly
|
Would today have been payday?
|
Hope you manage to get a flight to Boston from somewhere soon x |
Best of luck to all the Wow air staff.

Kindly soul. I ought to get back the cost of the original booking from the credit card company, but the price of the replacement ticket will be eye-watering. Currently trying to arrange anything that will put me somewhere on the east coast of North America by tonight while costing me no more than my left kidney--the less pretty of the two.

Icelandair might be an option. After all they weren't much help for WOW.

Blind Squirrel Sorry to hear about your situation.
I just check our load checker at Virgin for the VS11 to Boston this afternoon and its wide open, departs at 1635. Could be an option. I hope everyone at WOW finds employment soon Regards |
Sorry to hear about your predicament Blind Squirrel but surely if you had any involvement with aviation you would have realised that theyhave been in dire straits for some time. Personally I would have not gone anywhere near them; next one Norwegian anybody?

I do hope not, but thanks for the kind thought. norwegian to Boston, full tonight It seems |
