Wizz Air is providing 100,000 free seats to Ukrainian refugees amid the Russian invasion crisis.
Departures from Ukraine’s border countries of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania are being made available throughout March.
The Hungarian budget carrier has already added larger aircraft and extra flights from border countries to other parts of continental Europe to help support the movement of refugees.
The airline will also offer a €29.99 rescue fare on all other flights, as well as a €69.99 for services to the UAE, Iceland and the Canary Islands.
“Wizz Air recognises that many refugees have already started moving and may be stranded in other locations,” the airline said. “We want to ensure that all Ukrainian refugees have access to affordable travel no matter where they are located during this time of crisis.”
Chief executive Jozsef Varadi added: “Our hearts are with the Ukrainian people during this crisis.
“We are committed to helping as many Ukrainian refugees as possible to get to a safe place, which is why we will be offering them 100,000 free seats from the border countries and special rescue fares on all other flights.
“We have already seen great humanitarian efforts on the ground by our people across the network, and as a company we wanted to play our part in these efforts. We would be happy to provide a safe and welcoming journey for these refugees.”
