In a delightful show of respect for the global queer community, an Icelandic airline has named one of its planes the TF-Gay.

WOW air, a popular Icelandic airline, chose the name TF-Gay in order to make a public declaration of support for LGBT rights, stating that the name fits perfectly into the airline's commitment to celebrating multiculturalism.

In an interview with GayIceland, WOW CEO Skúli Mogensen elaborated, stating "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. By making it possible for everybody to travel with us, we’ll hopefully manage to make the world slightly smaller, and better."

He adds, "Since day one, we’ve emphasized joy and friendliness in our services because we want everybody to feel welcome in the WOW family. And we think TF-GAY fits right in with our modern family concept.”

The TF-GAY is one of three new Airbus A330-300 jets joining WOW's fleet and is set to hit the skies some time in early March.
