DETROIT (January 23, 2018) — Following a year of amazing passenger growth, WOW air, Iceland’s low- cost transatlantic airline, is excited to begin service from Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) on April 25, 2018.

To celebrate, WOW air is offering $99* one-way flight sales from DTW to Iceland (KEF) and $149* one- way fares to Amsterdam (AMS), Paris (CDG), Copenhagen (CPH), Dublin (DUB), Frankfurt (FRA), London (LGW/STN) and Berlin (SFX). Service from DTW will be available four days per week: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

In addition to beginning service at DTW, WOW air will begin service this Spring from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (May 3), Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (May 9), St. Louis Lambert International Airport (May 17) and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (May 23).

The addition of these new airports will bring the airline’s total number of U.S. destinations to 13 since its successful North American launch at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) in March 2015.

“We are proud of our progress in North America and are honored to partner with Detroit Metropolitan Airport to give more passengers in the Midwest low-fares to visit Europe,” said Skúli Mogensen, CEO and Founder of WOW air.

"We are pleased WOW air will bring new visitors to see Detroit’s revitalization firsthand, thanks to the airline’s low fares,” said Wayne County Airport Authority Air Service Development Director Joe Cambron. “This partnership also means there are more ways for travelers to reach Europe, whether they’re planning to explore Reykjavik, Iceland or connect to other great cities including Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. WOW is the first new international carrier for our North Terminal since it opened in 2008.”
