The company was known for low-cost bare minimum flights. Here's what to do if you're stranded.
Icelandic airline Wow Air passengers were stunned Thursday to find that their flights were inexplicably canceled, leaving them stranded across Europe and North America.
Passengers booked on Wow Air flights Thursday morning were waiting in airports when the airline shut down. Wow advised those suddenly without a flight to"check available flights with other airlines." "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," said the airline.
Icelandair had a whole page on its website dedicated to helping Wow passengers who were stranded."As a result of WOW air’s operational halt, we have set up discounted Economy fares for stranded passengers en route to, from, or through Iceland. These fares will only be available for passengers who have already embarked on their journey, and have a return ticket with WOW air between 28 March and 11 April 2019. The fares are subject to availability.
