The newest Icelandic low-cost airline Play has obtained Air operator’s certificate (AOC) in May 2021. The company was started after the collapse of the previous grand low-cost airline “WOW air” in 2019. It initially included two ex-WOW air executives Arnar Már Magnússon and Sveinn Ingi Steinþórsson, who branded their attempt of resurrection as WAB (“We Are Back”).
