WOW Collapses. NAI next?

Maybe NAI next?

Good on Icelandair for at least offering something to the people who were stranded that had WOW travel plans. Who knows about NAI though. Every time I think they're about to go down they manage to pull through. I think they're getting hit hard by the 737MAX issues though.

Blessing from the aviation God above perhaps?

How many WOW (Ex-)employees are unemployed today?

How many stranded a continent away from home?


While my sympathies don't pay their bills, or help them get home, I've been there a few times and it really is a bad time in their lives.
Good luck to them all.

XL Airlines went bust in 2009. The UK went all out to get their citizens, stranded overseas, home. Ranging from charting airlines, to ships. Of course the airlines have to contribute money to a fund for the “just in case factor”, to fund the “GET ME HOME” program.

They’re not stranded. No one is immune from buying themselves a ticket home.

Don't be obtuse. Buying a full fare, next day one way ticket from Europe to the US is going to cost upwards of $2-3 thousand per person. And that is on top of the money they haven't yet been refunded by WoW. If you have a family of 4, that's putting you in the zone of being stranded.

Yeah. God blessed them by making sure to crash 2 MAXs killing 346 people so Norwegian’s operation could be screwed. :rolleyes:

So your saying WOW crashed two B737 MAX’s.... and 346 people died??? Is that why WOW is going out of business? Is WOW also the reason Norwegian’s operation could be screwed?


Wow that’s interesting, I did not realize. [emoji57]sarcasm.

Not being sarcastic with this here... WOW was in serious decline prior to Ethiopian Air’s MAX accident. RIP to all the great people and the best of humanity who lost their lives.

You really that obtuse? OP said is NAI potentially next, another guy below said Norwegian seems to pull through but they are being affected by the MaX issue. And that’s when you wrote it’s a blessing from God’s above.
