PLAY Business Class

PLAY Airlines PERMANENTLY CEASED ALL OPERATIONS on September 29, 2025, following a closure declaration filed on the Icelandic stock exchange the day before. The Reykjavík-based budget carrier — launched in 2021 as a successor to WOW Air — cited underperforming ticket sales, negative media coverage of its management, and internal staff disputes. Roughly 400 employees were laid off and more than 18,000 passengers were stranded worldwide with immediate flight cancellations. There is no PLAY Airlines flight, route, or booking available today, in any cabin class. If you're researching low-cost Iceland stopover options, no direct successor currently exists in this exact niche — check Icelandair or a connecting itinerary instead.
