The company expects a positive cash flow in the second quarter of next year. This will be made possible, among other things, by the employees taking a 30 percent salary cut during the first year of operation, according to the presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The constellation states that they have learned a lesson from what caused Wow Air&#039;s demise. Among other things, the company will focus more on sales of ancillary services and on driving sales from its own website, according to the newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company filed for bankruptcy on March 28 after the company was unable to pay leasing fees to aircraft lessors totaling $300 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Nyhetsbyr\u00e5n Direkt<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grundaren bakom och flera toppanst\u00e4llda i det isl\u00e4ndska flygbolaget Wow Air, som gick i konkurs i slutet av mars, \u00f6verv\u00e4ger att b\u00f6rja p\u00e5 ny kula.
