About | Plan3 Passenger Disruption Made Simple

Built for aviation people, by aviation people.

Or to put it another way

Built for frustrated passengers,
by once frustrated passengers!

Passenger disruption during Wow Air days (at 3am!)

A quick background story

Plan3 is founded by Sveinn Akerlie, the former CIO at Wow Air, an Icelandic low cost carrier. During his time as CIO, Sveinn could not find a product on the market that took a passenger-first approach to disruption.

So, after the demise of Wow Air, Sveinn and some of the brightest minds from Wow Labs set out to build such a tool.

Today, that tool is transforming the disruption experience for passengers and airlines alike - that is Plan3!
