WOW Air Delays Relaunch To December (None Of This Makes Sense)
WOW Air is making a comeback, except that comeback is now delayed, and I am just so confused by what's going on. WOW Air ceased operations this March, though the airline is allegedly making a comeback. The person behind this is an American businesswoman, Michele Ballarin, who is otherwise best known for negotiating with pirates…

I live in Herndon and fly to Iceland once a month. As you can imagine, this is a very interesting route to me. Please keep us updated.
December sounds like the perfect time to restart flights to Iceland. I’m sure the demand is off the charts for that time of the year. Especially for an airline which screwed hundreds if not thousands. Let me pack my bags. I would rather be stranded no where else in December than Iceland.
Coming back to reality it sounds like wow 2.0 is failing before it ever restarts.
Maybe One Caribbean could join with Wow and Baltia in a new alliance? Can't wait for their credit card...
Nothing about Michele Ballarin makes her seem like a legitimate entrepreneur. And certainly not someone who has the ability to pull off anything that will require tens of millions of dollars. Seems like she's either a scammer or is wildly misguided.
Read my lips.... not gonna happen. Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.
So that’s a no then
Negative publicity is not really a good selling point. Best to stick with an established carrier / proper airline
Wow could start a new global alliance with Baltia and Global Ghana
How are they doing ? Lol
"They’ll use biometric data to board planes in eight minutes" - aside from having nothing to do with making an airline "better", another factor is that while it's all well and good to be able to BOARD a plane in eight minutes, will people be seated in that time? There will simply be a queue at the door and in the aisles.
I'm guessing this lady wants some kind of publicity.
She is picking up hard assets and operating certificate at fire sale prices. That is a good thing.
The rest of the business plan is questionable at best. Perhaps the business scenario is based on “The Producers” scheme.
Iceland seems like a wonderful place to visit once. But no more. Although I still miss Blue Lagoon.
Michele Ballarin reminds me Jo Bennett of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company! :)))
Is there a reason why you have both a recap section and an index on articles that only take 2 minutes to read? It seems very unnecessary!
Are they negotiating now for planes a month before launch? How long does it take to reconfigure and repaint planes? I really don't know, is it possible to do it by December?
