An Entire Airline Suddenly Went Bust, Leaving Thousands Of Passengers Stranded
Travelers were left stunned Thursday as WOW Air, a low-cost Icelandic carrier, unexpectedly collapsed and ceased all operations, leaving passengers stranded and demanding refunds for the thousands of dollars they’d spent on plane tickets.
“We’re all feeling very stressed out about it and very surprised,” said Jackie Lafferty, a 28-year-old Philadelphia healthcare worker on vacation in Iceland. Lafferty said she and her friends only learned of WOW Air’s abrupt collapse after being sent a news story when they woke up on Thursday morning.
Unable to go on his trip, Solari was told to call the WOW support line, but said he “gave up on that after being on hold for 40 minutes” and went home. the airline, which was founded in 2011, sold some of its jets last year in a bid to raise money and had been trying to secure long-term funding for months.
