Iceland’s Wow Air is to introduce a link from Gatwick to Miami via Reykjavik next spring.
The year-round service will start on April 5 next year, offering three flights a week. Wow Air flies from Gatwick to Iceland using a narrow-body aircraft, but will use a 350-seat wide-body for the flight from Iceland to the US.
Wow Air offers a daily flight to Iceland from Gatwick with an additional frequency on Sunday, Monday and Thursday. The airline’s chief executive Skuli Mogensen said: “Having lived in Miami myself, I understand the appeal for many UK and European travellers, so I am thrilled to add this global and energetic city to our ever growing list of North-American destinations.
“With our New York service commencing in November and now Miami only a few months later, we are thrilled to continue our mission to offer the lowest fares across the Atlantic.“
