Kolkas yra dvi kompanijos, skraidinančios į Ameriką ir atgal pigiai. Tai Norwegian ir WOW. Pigumo pagrindas skiriasi. Norwegian naudoja ekonomiškus naujausius lėktuvus Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Islandų kompanija WOW naudoja puikią Islandijos miesto Reykjaviko geografinę padėtį. Ant rutulinio Žemės paviršiaus linija, sujungianti Berlyną-Reykjaviką-Bostoną yra gana tiesi.
Todėl WOW bilietai būna nuo 99 iki 200 dolerių į vieną pusę. Net aukštesnė kaina yra konkurencinga su Norwegian [1].
1. "IN AN attempt to live up to its name, WOW Air, an Icelandic low cost
carrier, caused some excitement last month by unveiling promotional
fares of $99 one-way for its upcoming transatlantic routes. Prices have
since nearly doubled, but even so they remain competitive with Norwegian Air Shuttle, currently the only other true budget carrier offering flights from Europe to North America.
Norwegian
keeps its prices in check, in part, by flying the most up-to-date,
fuel-efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliners. So how does WOW compete? The
answer, quite simply, is geography. The carrier plans to connect western
European points with Boston and Washington-Baltimore next year via a
stopover at its home base in Reykjavik. Look at a map and Iceland
initially seems a rather a circuitous route. But, as one of my all-time favourite articles by The Economist explains,
2D maps can be deceiving. Wheel out a 3D globe and the curvature of the
Earth tells a different story. Though not quite a straight line,
flight-paths such as Berlin-Reykjavik-Boston are reasonably direct."
