Low-fare airline Wizz Air has announced a partnership with When You Wish Upon A Star, a UK-based charity that grants wishes to children who are facing life-threatening illnesses. Through the collaboration, the airline will offer up to 50 return flights and services for children and guardians involved with the charity.
Wizz Air is also involved with Csodalámpa in Hungary, Fundacja Mam Marzenie in Poland, and Make-A-Wish Italia to help children experience moments of joy during incredibly difficult times.
“We are honoured to partner with When You Wish Upon A Star in their incredible mission to bring joy, hope, and unforgettable moments to children and their families,” said Yvonne Moynihan, Managing Director at Wizz Air UK. “At Wizz Air, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience the magic of flying, and we are proud to help make that possible. This partnership reflects our deep commitment to the communities we serve and to expanding accessibility through mobility. Supporting families, strengthening connections, and helping young children’s dreams take flight is a privilege we hold close to our hearts.”
“We are thrilled to join forces with Wizz Air to make the dreams of children facing life-threatening illnesses come true, every wish granted brings hope, joy, and unforgettable memories to our children and their families,” said Joe Williamson, Chief Executive Officer at Wish Upon A Star. “This partnership opens incredible opportunities for adventure and discovery, and we are deeply grateful to Wizz Air for helping us create magical moments that will be cherished forever.”
Other airlines, such as easyJet, have similar partnerships with wish-granting charities, enabling children and their families to have free travel to the destination of their wishes.
