Start-up Play expects 1st aircraft in June

Icelandic start-up Play has announced it expects to take delivery of its first aircraft, an A321neo, in June, with two more to follow in July. It's currently unknown what the three airframes involved are. The airline is planning to launch flights on 24 June.

Play is a low-cost airline and, initially, will connect Iceland with Alicante, Copenhagen, Dublin London (Gatwick and Stansted), Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Tenerife. Later it also wants to fly to destinations in the US, bringing back the vibe of defunct WOW Air. It's, however, currently unclear which destination will become the airline's first.
