Wizz Air announces its obtained regulatory approval to operate flights to the United States
The airline aims to provide tailored charter flights for European football teams and supports travelling to the World Cup, and to tour operators organising group travel to the US. However, the airline does not intend to launch regular commercial flights to the US. Regardless, the new authorisation represents a significant achievement and reflects months of preparation, regulatory coordination, and operational planning.
The airline expects strong interest from football teams participating in the World Cup. Charter packages will be designed to offer flexibility, comfort, and efficient travel for large groups.
Yvonne Moynihan, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK, said, “Receiving approval to operate between the UK and the United States is a huge milestone for our company. It opens the door to incredible opportunities, particularly for European football teams and supporters travelling across the Atlantic this summer. We are ready to deliver exceptional charter experiences and bring fans closer to the action in the United States.”
