Wizz Air has showed no indication of postponing its Airbus delivery for this year, despite the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Many carriers have been pushing back deliveries of their new aircraft due to the downturn within the aviation industry. However, despite its 90% reduction in capacity, Wizz Air is anticipating the arrival of 15 new aircraft as an attempt to gain a stronger position when global demand picks up again.
Additionally, whilst several airlines have been asking the government for financial support, Wizz Air expects that is will have enough reserves to last the summer or longer.
Wizz Air is “confident in a strong return to operations once restrictions are lifted and demand returns.”József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer of the airline anticipates that about 80% of its capacity will be in service by 2021, looking to add services to areas that struggling airlines may have lost out.
