According to majority owner Skúli Mogensen, the company intends to start service next spring. He says it’s amazing to see how many people have applied to work at the fledgling company: “It’s clear that more people than just us think this is an exciting environment to work in. It will be quite a job to choose out of all of these applications, but we will be working on this over the next few days. Looking at the applications I’m in no doubt that there will be a reliable and fun crew working at WOW Air who will serve ever-multiplying foreign tourists and travel-happy Icelanders in the coming years.”

In related news, the Icelandic travel website Túristi says that WOW Air will fly to new destinations which have not been on the rosters of the two other Icelandic airlines, Icelandair and Iceland Express, before. Baldur Oddur Baldursson, CEO of the WOW, declined to give any hints as to what the new destinations will be, and says that an announcement about these and flight schedules will be made in the next few weeks.

Asked about what the company’s goal for punctuality will be, Baldur said that they intend to be exceptional in this field and that the company is organising aircraft rental contracts which will make that possible.
