Today's celebration comes with the new era of sanitised travel, with Wizz Air having led the industry restart by saying 'yes to flying' and implementing stringent health and hygiene measures to protect passengers and crew. Whilst the HEPA filters of all Wizz Air aircraft already filter out 99.97% of viruses and bacteria from the air, Wizz Air's new protocols support physical distancing guidelines, ensure an ultra-clean environment on board and reduce any non-essential human interaction and physical contact, so that WIZZ passengers can feel confident that they are travelling to their destination safely.

To travel worry-free in these uncertain times, Wizz Air encourages passengers to use WIZZ Flex. By choosing this service, passengers can rest assured that if circumstances change, or they simply wish to travel on a different date, or to a different destination, they can rebook on any WIZZ flight of their choice.

Andras Sebok, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Wizz Air said: 'Just ten days ago we have operated the first Wizz Air's flight from Bacău to London Luton and today we are delighted to announce the start of our base with a network of 13 routes. Wizz Air's growth in Romania reflects the new demand environment and creates further market diversification to the benefit of customers. By offering more affordable travel opportunities on an extensive low fare network to Europe we support the recovery of the local economy and create new jobs during these unprecedented times.'
