Wizz Air extends free ticket offer to help Ukrainians

Friday, 28 Jun, 2022 0

Wizz Air’s joint initiative with not-for-profit organisations Choose Love, The Shapiro Foundation, The Steve Morgan Foundation and USPUK has been extended until the end of June 2022

There are 4,500 free tickets still available for Ukrainian refugees to travel to the UK.

The partnership launched in May 2022 with an initial 10,000 free tickets available until 15 June.

Extending the initiative until the end of June allows more Ukrainian refugees flying from Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia to travel to the UK in support of the UK Government’s ‘Homes for Ukraine’ visa scheme.

Since May, the initiative has made free travel available to over 5,000 refugees.

As of 14 June, the UK government has issued 88,000 visas to Ukrainians under its ‘Homes for Ukraine’ visa scheme.

Over 51,800 have already arrived in the UK.

The Wizz Air free tickets are available on a total of 61 routes that the airline operates from Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia to the UK, and include one hand luggage item and one checked-in luggage item (up to 32kg) per person.

Jozsef Varadi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air, said: “By extending our offer of free tickets until the end of June, we hope that many more Ukrainians will reach the UK and be connected with their sponsor. Our hearts are with the Ukrainian people during this time of crisis.”

Free tickets are available on departures such as Bucharest, Warsaw, Gdansk, Krakow, Katowice, Poznan, and Budapest to various UK airports.
