BREAKING: Hungarian authorities launch investigations against Wizz Air, Ryanair, SunExpress, Eurowings!

The Government Office of Budapest has launched investigations against budget airlines Wizz Air, Ryanair, SunExpress and Eurowings due to their considerable delays in recent days.

According to Telex, the government office’s statement did not specify which delays were under investigation.

On Sunday, we reported that dozens of fans could not travel to the Scotland-Hungary EURO 2024 group stage match with the German airline Eurowings because its plane departed significantly late. On 15 June, Wizz Air’s aircraft to Dortmund also experienced a delay, causing many fans to miss the Hungarian national team’s first match against Switzerland.
