WOW air has announced a new service from the UK to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for next summer.

Beginning in June 2017, the Icelandic low-cost airline will fly from London Gatwick and Edinburgh to Pittsburgh via Reykjavik.

Fares will start at £119.99 one way.

The inaugural service to Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) will depart on 16 June 2017, with the service operating four times per week, year round.

Tickets are on sale.

The airline said the new route builds upon the successful launch of transatlantic services to Montreal, Washington D.C, Toronto, Boston, New York and Californian destinations Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami.

Skuli Mogensen, founder and CEO of WOW air, said" "Pittsburgh is certainly a destination on the rise and one that will appeal to a wide range of UK travellers looking to discover somewhere different, so we’re thrilled to add the destination to our route list.

"The past year has truly solidified our presence in the US, with a number of new routes launched and we look forward to continuing this fast rate of expansion."

Pittsburg flights will be operated by Airbus A321 aircraft with a single-class configuration.

The approximate total journey time from London Gatwick will be 11 hours, including stopover.
