Iceland's Wow airline collapses

It said some airlines may offer flights at a reduced rate, so-called rescue fares, and it would publish information on those when it becomes available. Otherwise it says they could be entitled to some compensation from Wow,"including in accordance with European regulation on Air Passenger Rights", or, in case of a bankruptcy, claims should be filed to the administrator or liquidator.

disgraceful to take money upto the last minute

and the industry is ok with one of its players leaving people stranded worldwide and then want its other members to profit off of the backs of fliers who have already paid for a ticket and got nothing. What a fine group of shitsucking leeches the airline industry is made up of

Norwegian next judging by their balance sheet - avoid

Obviously more Brexit misery, if you use remainer logic.... Good grief.

Advice to UK consumers impacted by WOW AIR suspending operations is available on the UK_CAA website:

Blame brexit

NicolaSturgeon Bloody Icelandic economics.

Hey, TheSimpsons: Good thing you guys filmed the episode that was set in Iceland ('The Saga of Carl') six years ago instead of now.

Wow

Winner of today's 'stating the bleeding obvious award' goes to the spokesman that said ' passengers wishing to travel should book with another airline' 🤔 well who would have guessed that?

diesel apparently

Oooo sad.!,!

Not good for Iceland.

All I can say is Wow! WowAir

Oh wow.

We loved that airline! In their safety announcements they motioned to the whistle on the lifejacket and said ‘but the only ones who will hear you are the dolphins 🐬’ Good fun, maybe not so great for those with fear of flying.

WOW

Brexits fault?

Wow....Stealing British taxpayers millions during the so called financial crisis and still Iceland haven't got two pennies to rub together.

Wow, that’s an absolute shockair

I've always had a sense that their planes look as though they could do with some maintenance... If you look at Ryanair, their customer service might be shit, but the planes look well kept and therefore reassuring...

An unfortunate name for an airline.

Wow, I was actually about to buy tickets... dodged a bullet there

This is a shame not a joke.

Ohh

Blame Brexit

Wow

Damn you brexit !

BIRAKIN İNSANLAR ÖZGÜR YAŞASIN. SİZİN HALKINIZ GİBİ. HALKLAR BİR OLURSA SİZ DE DESTEKLEDİKLERİNİZ DE HAPİS YATACAKSINIZ.

Wow

They might have called the liner 'Bubblegum' and then they might have made a profit-some.

WOW! 😮

Well wow!

OMG.

Wow.
