Icelandic Airline WOW Air abruptly ceases operations, stranding passengers

LINK

Sucks for the stranded passengers to get pretty much 0 notice.

I flew a cheap $200 RT WOW flight from Baltimore to Reykjavik back in 2017.

Former Wow Air CEO Skuli Mogensen spoke to Icelandic state broadcaster RUV this morning. Here is the transcript, translated by CNN

: Q: Why did it collapse
: We were talking to a few interested parties until the early hours of the morning which then in the end didn’t come to anything. These parties were interested, and we worked on it in good faith. We carried on until 7 in the morning, but unfortunately it didn’t come together We have been working with all our aircraft leasing companies for a while, but in the end it didn’t work out. As is normal, people believed we would get the investment. We have been very transparent but it didn’t happen.
