It was announced today that WOW air has added Cork Airport to its route network with flights to Iceland, the US and Canada beginning May 2017.
WOW air will operate direct scheduled flights to Reykjavik Iceland from Cork Airport four times per week – Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday – with the inaugural flight on 19 May 2017.
The new service to Iceland will allow Irish passengers connect to WOW air’s transatlantic services in Reykjavik, with flights to major US and Canadian cities of New York, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington DC, Montreal and Toronto.
With a short two hours stopover in Reykjavik, fares to the US and Canada from Cork are as low €149 one way incl. taxes and charges. Flights are available for booking from today (Wednesday).
WOW air became the first airline to offer direct scheduled flights from Ireland to Iceland in 2014 and last year became the first low-cost airline to offer transatlantic services from Dublin.
The airline recently announced their expansion to Miami following the successful launch of transatlantic services from Dublin, via Reykjavik, to Boston, Washington D.C, Montréal and Toronto in 2015 and to Los Angeles and San Francisco in January 2016, with the addition of the New York service to begin next month.
Commenting today, Founder and CEO of WOW air, Skúli Mogensen said, "We are delighted to add Cork Airport to the WOW air route network today. We’re keen to expand our services from Ireland and are delighted to offer further choice and value in travel through our expansion in Cork."
He added, "As a significant business and leisure hub in Ireland, we have ambitious targets for our Cork services and we look forward to working with Niall and the team in Cork Airport to develop these exciting new routes."
