WOW air passenger numbers soar

83,000 passengers flew to Iceland last month with Icelandic low-cost airline WOW air, up a massive 49% from June 2014. Passenger load factors are up by 8% over the same period.

“I am very happy with these substantially higher passenger load factors, given with the huge increase in our network over the past year,” says Skúli Mogensen, CEO and founder of WOW air.

Since June 2014, WOW has added six new destinations to its schedule – Billund, Boston, Dublin, Rome, Tenerife and Washington DC – and intends to expand its network further on both sides of the Atlantic next year.
