Superb news: Hungarian Wizz Air saves passengers after Ryanair’s announced departure!

The Hungarian budget airline Wizz Air said it would offer a discounted rebooking option for the Ryanair passengers stuck in Jordan. The special, so-called rescue tickets will cost HUF 12,390 (EUR 30), and you may travel to Budapest, Rome or Milan with them.

Ryanair announced before that they would not fly between Amman and Budapest because the war was too close. The Irish low-cost airline has been trying to keep the route up but has only been managing to fill the planes flying to Jordan with great difficulty and cheap tickets. We detailed the causes of their decision in THIS article.

Therefore, the Irish low-cost’s main rival, the Hungarian Wizz Air, decided to enter the market and help people stuck in Jordan to get out. The Hungarian low-cost carrier offers direct flights between Amman and Budapest, Milan or Vienna. The decision shows the airline’s commitment towards the European and Middle Eastern passengers, their statement cleared.

According to Wizz Air, the passengers have time until 30 April to buy their tickets for their Amman rescue planes. The budget airline created a subsidiary website for that – click HERE to reach it.
