This is a better business plan than the actual airline.

It's akin to setting money on fire in a small heating stove rather than an open pit.

I suspect this might have something to do with keeping the trademark in use.

Wow will open a sales office and cafe but no actual airline with aircraft and crew I’ll tweet them and see their reaction.

What a great concept.

They put their $80M investment to brew coffee.

Even Somalis can't even pull this kind of heist.
Now who are really the pirates?

Better than an airline saying it's, I guess.

I can't type today.

That's supposed to say "Better than an airline saying it's a 'rooftop bar', I guess."

Can't imagine such a well-run entity hasn't done its trademark homework, but there's already a Wow cafe in Washington:

My guess is that it’s a front for money laundering

This Wow Air saga is sooo interesting. It has so many twists and turns and keep surprising me. I haven't been this entertained in a long time.

The West End of DC is not a high foot traffic area compared to other parts of the city. I"m not sure how many people would trek over there to visit this location. Public transport to the West End is not high volume either and there is little to no parking. Sounds like this spot will just sit vacant.

This will be a huge success. They will use the same business model as their airline used. They will charge you $1 for coffee, and $1 for a breakfast sandwich. Then they'll tell you to do something to yourself that's anatomically impossible and lock you out of the cafe without giving you anything.

@Lucky - I live in that building. Hoping it's a source for free morning coffee. I'll report back once it opens.
