The route will be flown on the airline’s 350-seat A330-200s three times weekly (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) facing no direct competition. According to the airport, this is Miami’s first-ever service to Iceland. “Our residents now have non-stop services to the beautiful, historic city of Reykjavik, as well as to all the connecting flights that the city’s strategic location provides,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez in a statement. The low-cost long-haul carrier already serves Baltimore/Washington, Boston, Los Angeles, New York Newark and San Francisco in the US, along with Montreal and Toronto Pearson in Canada, all of which have been launched since 2015. In total WOW air now provides 45 weekly flights between Iceland and North America.
