Wizz Air has shifted flights from its Moldovan base to Iasi in Romania following the outbreak of war in neighbouring Ukraine.
The change follows the Hungarian budget carrier taking all flights originating from its Kyiv, Lviv and St Petersburg bases off sale.
“Inbound flying to these and other destinations in Ukraine and Russia are also suspended until further notice, with flights inbound to Moldova shifted to Iasi, Romania up until 31 May 2022,” the airline said in an update on the Ukraine conflict.
The carrier also “continues to await a safe evacuation window” for its four Ukraine based aircraft.
Wizz Air added: “All of our Ukrainian organisation is supported by an employee and family support scheme and all will be offered new employment within one of our bases.
“We are also offering new jobs with relocation support for Ukrainians who wish to join us.”
The airline has adjusted its first quarter capacity for its wider network to grow 30% over the same period in pre-pandemic 2019. The second quarter capacity is expected to grow 40% over 2019.
“Our commercial plan maintains a capacity mix of 65% in our core central Europe region, 30% from western bases and 5% from Abu Dhabi.”
