Wizz Air makes 100,000 free flights available to Ukrainians

Wizz Air is providing 100,000 more free tickets for Ukrainian citizens on all continental European and UK flights.

The free flights are being offered for travel between September 15 and December 8 across the Wizz Air Hungary and Wizz Air UK networks.

The offer covers 800 routes and follows an initial offer in May of 10,000 free tickets to help Ukrainian refugees fly to the UK following the Russian invasion of their country.

The new initiative is designed to help Ukrainians travel throughout Europe.

Travellers will be required to provide their Ukrainian passport number at the time of booking. They will also be asked to show their passport and required visa/travel documents during check-in.

The budget airline’s chief executive Jozsef Varadi, said: “Wizz Air is Ukraine’s home town airline and we are here to continue to support in any way we can during these difficult times. 

“Our aim is to alleviate the hardships of Ukrainian citizens.”
