A second airline from Iceland will begin offering Northeast Ohioans routes to Europe. A day after , budget airline WOW says it will do the same.
Service is scheduled to begin in May next year.
Both airlines will offer four flights a week from to , Iceland鈥檚 major hub. Flights through Iceland can be a less-expensive way to reach the rest of Europe, and the country is a popular destination in its own right.
Sk煤li Mogensen joined a news conference at the airport via Skype. He says the Cleveland market appeals to the company for a few reasons, including size.
鈥淏ut also not least, the lack of direct flights between Cleveland and Europe. But also, of course, we think Cleveland as a destination in itself is fantastic,鈥� he said.
A flight from Cleveland to Paris through Iceland could run a few hundred dollars each way. WOW is also expanding in Cincinnati, Detroit and St. Louis.
