The new Icelandic airline in the ownership of, amongst other Icelandic entrepreneurs, Skúli Mogensen and Matthías Imsland, will be called WOW Air. The company’s website says they are finalising their destinations and will be offering tickets at reasonable prices. The company plans to open bookings to everyone in the next few days.

“But we will of course need to hire people first, choose the uniforms, organize the seat pockets and polish the planes,” says the airline.

On WOW’s Facebook page the company has posted advertisements for various positions. WOW says applicants need to be dynamic, good-humoured and smiley, with plenty of longing for adventure and a passion for customer service.”

Among the advertised positions are air service jobs, which have been sought-after in Iceland for a while now. Unlike other airlines based in the country, the minimum age for applications is 19; those born before 1992 are eligible to apply.

Positions for a flight supervision manager, service manager and managers in the finance and computer departments have also been advertised.
