Default No WOW deal, Indigo walks away.

Looks like Indigo now has about 90 million freed up.

That’s two rejections, something under the skirt must turning off investors. WOW is quickly turning into the “hooker with a penis” of the airline world.

I thought that the amount of money they were willing to pay for WOW seemed like a lot.

WOW has already sold their A330s, and I believe only has 10 or 12 planes. Unless Indigo had some incredible plan, 75 million seemed like a lot to pay for a tiny, unprofitable airline.

I think they wanted the ETOPS program. Anchor F9 in US and feed WOW from US to Iceland and connect with Whiz to Europe.
Might be a cheaper way

At the very least, by taking a peak at Wow’s books, Indigo now has a pretty good idea whether or not a transatlantic low cost model would be a profitable venture.

Just rumor... but our 321 NEOs have been ordered with HF radio and will have ovens.

Ok ok... I was joking about the ovens.

I just realized I made an unintentional pun with WOW’s name.

Maybe they’ll be able to pay for the long range tanks with the money they saved by not installing the ovens.

And the number in this article is up several million from the last article.

Icelandair has now bailed on talks for a second time. Que Bill Franke to show up again but in a pimp suit this time.
