Wizz Air’s extraordinary announcement – these flights will be cancelled for months
Change language:
The Hungarian airline, Wizz Air, has announced that it would leave the Russian airspace – for the time being.
Cancelling Russian and Ukrainian flights
Wizz Air is cancelling all its flights to and from Russia until 31 October, which means the end of the summer timetable. According to Index.hu, the airline has taken this decision in light of the current war situation and market developments.
As they wrote in a statement to Index.hu,
all flights to and from Ukraine would be suspended until the end of June. The affected flights had already been removed from the booking system.
As Napi.hu writes, on Thursday, flights to Russia were still available on their website. Seats were open until the autumn, and in February they announced that they would help refugees from Ukraine with 100,000 free plane tickets. All one needed to book a flight was a Ukrainian ID card or passport. Wizz Air even extended the deadline to obtain the free tickets until 10 April.
