An estimated 10 thousand people were left stranded by the collapse of Iceland’s Wow Air last Thursday, with many families requiring accommodation due to cancelled flights.

 

Wow Air, which also operated flights from UK airports Gatwick, Stansted and Edinburgh, had been in talks this week with bondholders in an effort to raise new money.

 

On Thursday Wow's website said it had ceased operations and cancelled all flights. Adding that passengers needing to travel should book with other airlines.
