WOW Air in financial trouble

Budget airline WOW Air has been in financial trouble for a while now. Talks of a takeover by Icelandair ended without an agreement last week, resulting in an almost immediate deterioration of the financial situation. Consultations with the airlines’ creditors have resulted in debts being transferred to stocks in WOW Air. As the documents have not yet been signed, WOW Air grounded all its flights in prevention of the authorities doing so. Thousands of passengers have been affected. WOW Air connects UK passengers between London, Iceland and Northern US with direct flights.
