Event
According to Wizz Air management, the company will cancel all Odessa (Ukraine) routes from Thursday, March 26 to Friday, June 5, as the Odessa International Airport (ODS) runway does not meet Wizz Air safety standards. Separately, flights to Luton (UK) - Torp (Norway) and Luton - Prague (Czech Republic) will also be canceled as of May, though the reason for this decision remains unclear. Passengers concerned will receive a refund or rebooking options.
