Magari A330 non è nuovissimo e non ne hanno poi così bisogno.

Soprattutto penso che con questo orario l'equipaggio che arriva il giorno prima a Miami sia lo stesso che ritorna. E visto le frequenze basse l'alternativa era lasciarlo li e pagargli il soggiorno per un bel po' di giorni oppure farlo tornare con un volo di linea.

Si saranno fatti i loro conti e avranno visto che costa meno così

Wow Air adds four new US destinations

easid-204184-media-id-8319.jpg

Four new US destinations are being added to Icelandic low cost carrier Wow Air’s transatlantic network.
Detroit, Cleveland, St Louis and Cincinnati will all be introduced next spring using Airbus A321 aircraft together with a new connecting route from Stansted to Reykjavik.
Fares on the new North Atlantic routes start at £129.99 one-way with the Stansted flights leading in at £29.99.
Detroit starts on April 25, Cleveland on May 3, Cincinnati on May 9, and St Louis on May 17. The first Stansted departure to Iceland is on April 25.
Airline founder and cheif executive, Skúli Mogensen, said: “It’s a big day for Wow Air as we launch flights from Stansted, our second London airport, plus services to these four new US mid-west destinations.
“We are proud of our growth over the last two years and will continue to work tirelessly to provide the lowest fares possible to connect the UK to North America, helping to make international travel truly a possibility for everyone.”
Stansted commercial director Martin Jones added: “We are delighted Wow Air has chosen to come to London Stansted and become the latest airline to join our growing base of carriers operating from the airport.
“Reykjavik is a fantastic city and I’m sure it will prove to be a very popular destination in its own right but with the added benefit of opening up the airline’s extensive North American route network from its Icelandic hub, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco and Montreal, these new flights will also appeal to both business and leisure passengers from London and east of England as well those visiting the UK from the USA.”

Wow Air sets course for $300m IPO

Owner and founder plans to sell less than half of the company through listing
Iceland’s Wow Air is aiming to raise $200m-$300m in an initial public offering of the low-cost, long-haul airline within 18 months, according to its chief executive and owner.
Skuli Mogensen, who founded Wow in 2011, said he would expect to raise that figure by selling less than half of the company, but he did not give a valuation for the whole business.
The airline, which offers cheap flights to the US via its Iceland hub, has had a difficult couple of years: it lost $27.5m before tax in 2017 with revenue of $486m and expects to lose $6m this year. Mr Mogensen said he hoped it would return to profit in 2019 with revenue of $830m-$840m. This is in contrast to the rest of the industry, which had record profits in 2017 thanks in part to low jet fuel prices.
Mr Mogensen conceded that the airline had not managed to keep down its costs: “Fuel clearly has worked against us, we’re not hedged. We are reconsidering that policy.” At the end of August jet fuel had risen to $92 a barrel, up a quarter compared with a year ago.
But he said his focus was on raising ancillary revenues— such as charges for extra legroom to in-flight meals — which stood at $57 a person, up from $42 in January 2017. “The margin on that kind of growth is 95 per cent versus network growth. This is our way of competing efficiently against the largest carriers,” he said. Mr Mogensen added that he wanted to increase the figure to $65 in the next year.
Wow’s local rival Norwegian has pioneered this “unbundling” of air fares by paring them back to the seat and offering optional extras, but Mr Mogensen said Norwegian was “deviating” from its “hardcore low-cost model” by including services such as in-flight entertainment and Wi-Fi.
Wow ranks poorly with some flyers, however. AirHelp, a business that makes it easier for consumers to claim compensation for delayed or cancelled flights, ranks it bottom out of 72 global airlines based on punctuality, quality of service and ease of processing compensation claims. Mr Mogensen told news channel CNBC in June: “We have to do better. It’s obviously in our interest to fix it.”
The airline recently launched flights between New York and Delhi in India via Iceland, which Mr Mogensen said was both direct and tapped into India’s fast-growing travel market.The airline had $154m in long-term borrowing, according to its 2017 accounts, most of which had rates of up to 8 per cent, high for the sector.
 
Oggi The Times of India pubblica un breve articolo sul volo Delhi-Reykjavik che debutterà il 7 dicembre, decisamente non entusiastico. Evidenzia come, benché sia un volo intercontinentale di 12 ore con eventuale proseguimento, si possa portare a bordo solo <a "personal item", which could be a small bag like a laptop bag or an office bag> e non venga servito alcun cibo. Anche sul prezzo ha poi da ridire: la tariffa base è di 13500 rupie, pari a circa 160 euro, ma è difficile da trovare e già martedì la magggior parte di questi biglietti era stata venduta. La tariffa successive è di 26000 rupie. Ci sono date come il 22 dicembre in cui la tariffa base (sottolinea: senza bagaglio nè cibo) è di 94000 rupie. Paragona con il prezzo di 40000 rupie chiesto da aluni vettori indiani e del Medio Oriente per connessioni con l'Europa comprensivo dei due servizi. Se può interessare e se non violo il nuovo diritto sul copyright, posso allegare la fotografia dell'articolo.
 
In Islanda e' emerso che WOW ha un debito consistente con l'autorita' aeroportuale Isavia.

Icelandic newspaper Morgunbladet reported Wow owes two billion Icelandic krona (€16 million) to airport operator Isavia in unpaid charges at Keflavik.
It reported Wow has not paid the charges at all this year, with Isavia’s half-year accounts listing the debt. TW

WOW Air retrenching? Service to three Midwest cities axed

WOW Air’s aggressive expansion into the U.S. Heartland has run into turbulence.
The Icelandic budget airline, known for offering one-way fares as low as $99 from the USA to Iceland and Europe, says it will ax service to three Midwestern cities.
WOW’s flights from St. Louis will end Jan. 7 while seasonal service from Cincinnati and Cleveland will not resume next summer. The last flights from the Ohio cities will come later this month.
The pullout comes only about five months after WOW began flying from the cities. The three Midwest cities – along with Detroit – were announced by WOW as new destinations to great fanfare last summer.
Detroit will remain in WOW Air’s network, Svana Friðriksdóttir told USA TODAY’s Today in the Sky blog. But it seems that the three dropped Midwest cities could hint at bigger changes for WOW’s U.S. network.
When asked specifically about WOW’s service to New York JFK and Dallas/Fort Worth – destinations about where there has been speculation about WOW’s long-term prospects – Friðriksdóttir said no decision had been made about whether the airline would continue to fly there in its 2019 schedule.

As for St. Louis, WOW said demand for the service did not meet its expectations.
“Unfortunately, it has to be said that St Louis was a disappointment for WOW Air this summer in terms of end results, with load factors not achieving the targets that were set for the route in the beginning, and compared to other markets in our network,” Friðriksdóttir said.
That appeared to come as a surprise to airport officials in St. Louis.
“We’re disappointed because the response from customers across the St. Louis region was strong, and we were told we were one of the airline’s top performing markets in the Midwest that were added last spring,” the airport said Monday in a statement to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The loss will take away St. Louis’ only regular non-stop route to Europe. Prior to WOW’s arrival, St. Louis had been without non-stop service to Europe since 2003, when American discontinued its last London flight there as it slashed TWA’s St. Louis hub that it inherited in an acquisition of the now-defunct carrier.
In Cleveland, WOW's decision not to resume comes just a month after it told The Cleveland Plain-Dealer that it planned to return in 2019.
More broadly, WOW’s pullout is a disappointing development for the cities losing flights.
When WOW announced its expansion into the Midwest last summer, it marked the first time that a European discount airline had targeted the U.S. Heartland so aggressively. Previously, U.S. service on other European discounters had focused mostly on big U.S. coastal cities with already-established demand for trans-Atlantic flights.
At the time the routes were revealed, WOW said it expected the smaller Midwest cities to prosper with service on single-aisle Airbus A321 jets that are smaller than widebody jets flown most-frequently on U.S.-Europe routes.
“We like the region. We think there’s opportunity there. We think it’s under-served,” WOW Air founder and CEO Skúli Mogensen said to USA TODAY’s Today in the Sky blog at the time.
He predicted low fares – coupled with smaller jets – could lead to profits by catering to pent-up demand for cheap trans-Atlantic flights.
“With those kind of prices, we have seen in other markets that we enter that we have stimulated the market significantly,” he said.
