Icelandic discounter Play Airlines closed its doors Monday after struggling to turn a profit since launching four years ago.
In a statement Monday, Play's board of directors blamed the closure on weak performance and ticket sales in recent months, "following negative media coverage of its operations."
Travelers affected by Play's shutdown are left with few flight options. Icelandair will add an extra round-trip between Keflavik Airport (KEF) and Copenhagen Airport (CPH) on Oct. 1 to assist stranded customers but is "not offering special fares for Play passengers."
