Icelandic budget airline WOW Air abruptly closed up shop on Thursday, stranding thousands of passengers including Canadians across Europe and North America. In a statement on its website, the airline said it has ceased operations, and as a result "all WOW Air flights have been cancelled." Tourism is a massive industry in Iceland — but some travellers are now facing massive disruptions after WOW Air stopped flying. This image, taken from the WOW Air website Thursday morning, shows the announcement that the budget airlines is no longer flying. About one-third of Iceland's visitors last year did so by flying on a WOW Air flight.
