WOW air on Sept. 8, announced it will begin service from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Iceland and Europe starting in April. This is the airline’s sixth U.S. destination since its North American launch at Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport in May 2015.
Service from Miami to Iceland will be available three days per week. Service from Miami will be available to WOW’s major European destinations including: London (LGW), Paris (CDG), Amsterdam (AMS), Berlin (SXF), Frankfurt (FRA), Dublin (DUB) and Copenhagen (CPH) via Iceland (KEF).
“After receiving such a positive response after our San Francisco, and Los Angeles launches, it was only natural to expand our operations to Miami,” said Skúli Mogensen, CEO and Founder of WOW air. “Not only does this launch give our Southeast American travelers an affordable opportunity to travel abroad, it gives our European travelers access to the beautiful tropical beaches and active nightlife of this great city.”
“We proudly welcome WOW air and their historic Reykjavík-Miami service,” said Miami-Dade Aviation Director Emilio T. González. “Aside from being MIA’s first-ever service to Iceland, WOW’s launch into the Miami market will also mark our fourth Nordic country and 23rd route to Europe – the most in the 88-year history of our airport. As a rapidly growing hub to numerous destinations throughout Europe and beyond, Reykjavík also fits perfectly within our strategic plan to expand MIA’s route network to points across the globe. Congratulations to Wow air on this exciting announcement, and for making Miami its first route to Florida and the Southeast U.S.”
“Miami-Dade County looks forward to welcoming WOW air and its passengers to our community,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez. “Our residents will soon have nonstop service to the beautiful, historic city of Reykjavík, as well as to all the connecting flights that city’s strategic location provides. Congratulations to WOW air and also to MIA, for landing another key international route and for adding to its roster of 103 airlines – the most of any U.S. airport.”
