Hungarian airline Wizz Air warns of strike

Wizz Air informs its passengers that border control police staff in the UK have announced a strike. It will also affect the festive period.

The walkout is expected to take place on 23, 24, 25, 28, 29 and 30 December. However, it is also expected to affect flights departing and arriving on the mornings of 26 and 31 December. Although the demonstration will primarily affect passengers travelling into the country, serious disruption is expected.

In particular, significantly increased waiting times are expected at passport control points and baggage handling may be slowed down, the airline said in a statement.

Wizz Air reminds its passengers that if they have purchased WIZZ Flex service with their ticket, they can rebook their flight free of charge to avoid possible disruptions caused by the strike, turizmusonline.com reports.
