WOW Air expands service to Iceland from Pittsburgh International Airport

WOW Air has expanded service from Pittsburgh International to Reykjavik, Iceland.

The airline now offers flights to and from Iceland five days a week — Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

The Iceland-based carrier was previously offering service four days a week. Last week, it added Thursday service, said Bob Kerlik, airport spokesman. The airline started serving Pittsburgh International in June 2017 .

As an incentive, the airport paid the airline $800,000 in state Department of Community and Economic Development grant money over two years.

In exchange, the carrier agreed to provide at least four round-trip flights per week through June 2019.
