Strike: Wizz Air warns of serious disruptions this weekend

A nationwide strike by air traffic controllers and ground handlers in Italy has been announced for Sunday 4 June. The strike is expected to cause serious disruption, affecting travel to airports, check-in procedures and security screening, the Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air said in a statement sent to MTI on Friday.

Wizz Air advises its passengers to plan accordingly and allow sufficient time to approach airports in Italy and complete the necessary procedures at the check-in counter, security and boarding gate.

It is also recommended that passengers check the status of their flight on the Wizz Air website or mobile app before leaving for the airport. Those who have purchased their flight through a travel agent or third-party intermediary should contact them directly to check the status of their flight in time.

The statement stressed that although they have no control over the strikes, the Hungarian airline will do its best to minimise disruption.
