Wow Air Goes Belly Up

March 28, 2019 by Michele Neylon Leave a Comment

Low cost carrier Wow Air has ceased operations effective immediately.

The Iceland based low cost carrier made the announcement this morning:

End of Operation of WOW AIR

Information for WOW AIR passengers
WOW 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.
What are my rights?
Passengers whose ticket was paid with a credit card are advised to contact their credit card company to check whether a refund of the ticket cost will be issued.
Passengers who bought their ticket from a European travel agent (within the European Economic Area) as a part of a package tour (a package which includes flights and accommodation or other services) are protected by the Package Travel Directive. Those passengers are advised to contact their travel agent to arrange an alternative flight.
Passengers who may have bought travel protection, or those passengers whose credit card terms may include such protection, may be entitled to claim compensation and assistance due to delays or travel disruption. However, such compensation is often limited.
Passengers may also be entitled to compensation from WOW AIR, including in accordance with European regulation on Air Passenger Rights. In case of a bankruptcy, claims should be filed to the administrator / liquidator.
Where can I get up-to-date information?
This announcement will be published and continuously updated on the following websites:
Icelandic Transport Authority: www.samgongustofa.is / www.icetra.is
Keflavik Airport: www.isavia.is/en
WOW AIR: www.wowair.com
Posted at all relevant airports
General information about passenger rights can be found atwww.icetra.is

All flights are cancelled, including flights ex-Dublin.

The airline had been in talks with its investors up until this morning but failed to reach a workable deal.

The airline had recently announced new routes and fares, but like FlyBMI it has also hit the wall.
