Since 1 April 2020, Wizz Air has flown several domestic flights in the United States as a part of a series of repatriation flights.
Although the US does not receive a regular service from Wizz Air, the airline was “incredibly important” in order to get passengers home.
The airline used a new Airbus A321neo aircraft to perform these flights including a trip between New York and Los Angeles, and Chicago and Miami. Using this specific aircraft has meant that Wizz Air has to stop at Iceland during the transatlantic flight, but it has been revealed that this provides the opportunity to pick up more passengers who are in need of transport home.
With the current impact of the coronavirus on the aviation industry, it is unlikely that Wizz Air can expand its service into the United States in the near future.
