Wow Air, stylized as WOW air, was an Icelandic ultra low-cost carrier operating between 2012 and 2019. The airline was headquartered in Reykjavík and based at Keflavík International Airport.[3] It flew between Iceland and the rest of Europe and North America, and also flew to India as part of a wider plan to expand in Asia.[4][5][1] The airline abruptly ceased operations on 28 March 2019, when its operating company WOW air hf. went out of business.
The airline's assets were acquired by United States-based holding company USAerospace Associates, which announced in 2019 and 2020 that the airline was relaunching service; however, flights did not commence, and the media was unable to independently verify the company's statements about its business plans or find evidence of an application for an air operator's certificate.
