End of Operation of WOW AIR<\/p>\n

Information for WOW AIR passengers<\/p>\n

WOW AIR has ceased operation. All WOW AIR flights have been cancelled.<\/p>\n

How will I reach my destination?<\/p>\n

Passengers are advised to check available flights with other airlines.
\nSome airlines may offer flights at a reduced rate, so-called rescue fares, in light of
\nthe circumstances. Information on those airlines will be published, when it becomes
\navailable.<\/p>\n

What are my rights?<\/p>\n

Passengers whose ticket was paid with a credit card are advised to contact their
\ncredit card company to check whether a refund of the ticket cost will be issued.
\nPassengers who bought their ticket from a European travel agent (within the
\nEuropean Economic Area) as a part of a package tour (a package which includes
\nflights and accommodation or other services) are protected by the Package Travel
\nDirective. Those passengers are advised to contact their travel agent to arrange an
\nalternative flight.<\/p>\n

Passengers who may have bought travel protection, or those passengers whose
\ncredit card terms may include such protection, may be entitled to claim
\ncompensation and assistance due to delays or travel disruption. However, such
\ncompensation is often limited.<\/p>\n

Passengers may also be entitled to compensation from WOW AIR, including in
\naccordance with European regulation on Air Passenger Rights. In case of a
\nbankruptcy, claims should be filed to the administrator \/ liquidator.<\/p>\n

Where can I get up-to-date information?<\/p>\n
