Váradi outlined plans to relaunch 30 routes initially and to fully reopen its bases in Kyiv and Lviv within six months.

Váradi said Wizz Air aimed to regain its pre-war market position of 10% in Ukraine, when it was the country’s third-largest airline.

Rival carrier Ryanair has also signalled plans to resume flights to Ukraine as fast as possible after the war ends, Portfolio adds.

Wizz Air issued a profit warning for the second time in six months in January, due to problems with engines, leading to the grounding of 20% of the fleet.

The airline expects 20% growth in capacity this year, supported by 50 new Airbus aircraft.
