Wizz Air flight resumption: what is known about the return

The company notes that it is actively preparing to resume flights in Ukraine. However, there is currently no official confirmation regarding specific timelines for the launch of flights.

Despite this, the launch of recruitment indicates the seriousness of the carrier's intentions to return to the Ukrainian market after the airspace opens.

Let us remind you that civil aviation in Ukraine has been suspended since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion.

Meanwhile, the government is already working on preparations for the resumption of flights. The Ministry of Community and Territorial Development has created a special working group that deals with the issues of launching airports and the safety of critical infrastructure.

Some of its tasks include:

• preparing proposals for the resumption of air travel

• assessing airport safety

• developing infrastructure protection measures.

It is expected that the decision to open the skies will depend on the security situation in the country.

Let us remind you that the Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air has announced a massive expansion of the WIZZ Class service across its entire flight network after successful testing at six bases.
