A WOW Air Airbus A320-200, registration LY-COS performing flight X9-126 from Berlin Schoenefeld (Germany) to Keflavik (Iceland), was enroute at FL340 about 100nm east of Bergen (Norway) when the crew initiated a descent due to cabin pressure problems which subsequently accelerated into an emergency descent to FL100. The aircraft diverted to Bergen's Flesland Airport for a safe landing about 25 minutes later.
