Consumer confidence in Europe’s smaller carriers drops again
AS IS ALWAYS the case when an airline goes bust, the collapse of WOW Air, an Icelandic low-cost carrier, has left a trail of financial destruction at home and abroad. More than 1,000 airline employees have lost their jobs. Tens of thousands of customers will face a battle to recover money spent on unused tickets. Those in the middle of their trips are stranded.
Whatever the personal cost to Mr Mogensen–he told Icelandic media he invested “everything I have” in the airline–WOW’s founder will be savaged by the press. Which?, a consumer group based in Britain, has slammed the company for continuing to sell tickets on its website even after its planes were grounded. When local media warned potential flyers of the perilous outlook, one of the company’s trade unions hit back with accusations of irresponsible journalism. That was absurd.
