WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY

WOW AIR

"WOW Air has ceased operation. All WOW Air flights have been cancelled," reads a banner at the top of the carrier's website — on every page.

Sadly, following a week of ominous headlines — ranging from aircraft repossessions to abandoned investment deals — the end has indeed come for one of Europe's most prolific ultra-low-cost carriers.

We explain what that means for customers, including:

  • What led to the airline's sudden collapse
  • How WOW handled yesterday's flights
  • Icelandair's offer to help stranded flyers

Were you planning to fly WOW Air yourself? Stay tuned to TPG for more tips to come, but in the meantime, we detail some of your options right here.
