Edinburgh is to become WOW air’s third UK departure point, and the first in Scotland, for flights to Iceland and North America.
Tickets for flights commencing 13 July are now on sale from £39 to Reykjavik and £125 to the USA and Canada.
Flights will depart Edinburgh International Airport for the airline’s hub in Reykjavik twice a week between July and October. Onward travelling passengers will have a short stopover before continuing on to one of the airline’s North American destinations – Boston, Washington D.C., Montreal, Toronto, Los Angeles or San Francisco.
Skúli Mogensen, founder and CEO of WOW air, said: “We’re very pleased to announce Edinburgh as our third UK departure point given the success we’ve seen with advance bookings on the recently announced Bristol route and of course our original route from London.”
Edinburgh becomes the airline’s 29th destination following the announcement of Canadian and Californian routes in October and November 2015 respectively. Launched in November 2011, WOW air’s annual passenger capacity will more than double in 2016 to over 1.9 million, up from approximately 840,000 in 2015.
A320 aircraft will operate the Edinburgh to Reykjavik flight with single-class A321 and A330-300 aircraft operating the routes between Iceland and North America. WOW air offers a standard seat pitch of 30 inches with the option to increase this to 35 inches on the North American legs of the journey for a small fee.
