Wow Air asks for help from the public to design a new livery

Wow Air (Keflavik), after assuming the routes of rival Iceland Express (Keflavik), is now asking the public to help with a new livery for the expanded operation. The airline issued the following statement:

WOW airย has taken delivery of a beautiful newย Airbus A320ย aeroplane, made in 2012.ย  The new plane means weโ€™re going to be flying our guests to and from Iceland at the lowest price as always, but with an even bigger smile. But thatโ€™s not all, because we have three other similar planes on their way…

We want help deciding how we should design the three new additions to our fleet and we would love you to give us some ideas.

Send your designs before December 1, 2012 with the subject lineย โ€œWOW-Honnunโ€ย (which means WOW-Design in Icelandic) toย marketing@wow.is, or through the old-school post to WOW air (WOW-Design), Katrรญnartรบni 12, 105 Reykjavรญk, Iceland.

Image: One image for a new color scheme is submitted by Wow Air. Purple is the in-house favorite.

The winner and a guest of their choice willย fly for free with WOW airย for an entire year. Three other WOW designs will win a return WOW air flight for two.

Helpful tool

Please note that we reserve the right to display any or all submitted designs on our Facebook page and/or WOW air blog. We also do not guarantee that the winning design will actually be used (although we hope it will).

Wow Air acquires rival Iceland Express

Wow Air (stylized as WOW air) (Keflavik) yesterday (October 24) took control of all Iceland Express (Keflavik) flight operations and schedules. No disruption is expected for passengers booked on Iceland Express flights and Wow Air will ensure that all obligations to them are fulfilled.

The move is not a merger, it is a takeover, with Wow Air acquiring the Iceland Express route network, branding and customer base; as well as gaining access to all knowledge and expertise acquired by the company in its years of operation. The united company will fly under the “WOW air” brand, which will continue to emphasise entertaining service, extra legroom, and always providing the lowest available prices to and from Iceland. This acquisition creates a very powerfulย Icelandic low-fares airlineย with new destinations and greater frequency.

Wow Air will immediately begin offering moreย flights to Icelandย from London and Copenhagen, as well as flights this winter from Berlin. Routes will also operate between Iceland and Salzburg over the skiing season and Warsaw andย Kaunas over Christmas.

From next spring Wow Air will operate four Airbus A320s and will offer up to 400,000 tickets to and from Iceland. The company”s summer timetable will include 15 European destinations: London, Copenhagen, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Milan, Zurich, Stuttgart, Dรผsseldorf, Berlin, Lyon, Alicante, Frankfurt,ย Vilnius and Warsaw. In addition to the higher number of destinations, the frequency of flights to many of them will also increase significantly.

Wow Airย wasย established in November 2011 by Icelandic serial entrepreneur Skuliย Mogensen.ย Skuli has had a successful career building companies primarilyย in the telecom and technology sector in Iceland, Europe and North America.ย He was voted businessman of the year 2011 in Iceland.
