Wizz Air has successfully delivered 11 tons of medical equipment from Shanghai to Budapest following a request from the Hungarian Government.
The Hungarian Government expects to use Wizz Air for additional flights in order to deliver additional medical supplies such as PPE wear and testing kits to Hungary, aiming to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
The coronavirus has had a significant impact on Wizz Air, causing a huge reduction in passenger demand and the suspension of flights to Georgia, Albania, Poland and Montenegro.
CEO of Wizz Air, József Váradi stated “In these tough times, we are doing everything we can to play our part in the fight against the outbreak. I would like to express my gratitude to all the government officials and my colleagues at Wizz Air who took part in this special mission, working tirelessly to gain the required permits and bringing home the equipment so efficiently.”
