WOW Air launches GAY plane...

WOW Air is the Icelandic low cost airline which launched flights to the US last year. They began flying between their hub in Reykjavik and Baltimore and Boston, and quickly announced expansion to their North American route network pretty quickly.

WOW Air’s first A330 will have an especially unique registration code — TF-GAY.
This will be one of the planes WOW Air flies to San Francisco and Los Angeles. Here’s an explanation:

“WOW air is an airline for the people and one of our most important goals is to lower fares in order to enable everybody to travel the world and get to know different cultures. We wholeheartedly support queer people’s fight for rights. Just as we support equal rights for everybody, no matter their gender, religion, ethnicity or culture. When we announced we were going to start flying to San Francisco, one of our pilots approached me and suggested the TF-GAY registry. I immediately thought it was a great idea and matched our approach of using words relating to family members in the spirit of inclusiveness.”
