Icelandic low-cost airline WOW air has announced the addition of two new Airbus aircraft to its fleet.
Route expansion and rising passenger numbers mean the airline will need extra aircraft and a further 200 employees, to be recruited over the next nine months.
According to CEO Skúli Mogensen, the airline is aiming at 50% year-on-year growth between now and 2018. By that time, the number of passengers flown by WOW air could be 3 million a year, four times the current amount.
