Wow Air has announced that it will be moving its London Gatwick service across to London Stansted.

The move will take effect from March 31st next year.

The new schedule from London Stansted will see daily flights to Keflavik depart at 11:20, allowing passengers to make onward connections to the US and Canada.

Mats Sigurdson, London Stansted aviation director, said: “We’re delighted that Wow Air has chosen to base its London operation at London Stansted Airport.

“We saw really high demand over the summer from passengers choosing Wow’s flights to Reykjavik and beyond to destinations across the United States, and inbound tourism to London and the east of England.

“We look forward to welcoming more Wow Air passengers to London Stansted Airport early next year.”

In addition, to further expand its UK market, the airline will be reintroducing its Edinburgh-Keflavik route following a seasonal pause, with flights commencing in June 2019.

Flights will operate three times per week, also ensuring time for transatlantic connections.
