According to the company, due to the refurbishment of the runway at the international airport in Odessa, the airport will not meet the safety standards set by Wizz Air and therefore no flights will be available between March 26 and June 5.

The passengers concerned were offered a re-booking or a refund of their ticket price.

A decision was also made to suspend the other two flights, and Wizz Air closed the Luton-Torp and Luton-Prague flights indefinitely for business reasons.
