Wizz Air announces it will no longer fly from Cardiff Airport

Wizz Air on Tuesday confirmed its operations at Cardiff Airport will cease permanently later this month.

Following a reduction in Wizz Air’s Cardiff flight schedules announced last September, its two remaining winter routes to Milan and Bucharest will cease to operate from January 25 2023.

Cardiff-based staff will be offered redeployment opportunities at other Wizz Air bases in the UK.

Wizz Air UK managing director Marion Geoffroy said: “The challenging macro-economic environment and high operational costs including fuel mean that unfortunately we are unable to continue operating from Cardiff airport."

"We sincerely apologise to our customers in Wales and the south west of England for the disruption and inconvenience that this will cause."

 "Our priority now is to ensure that all affected customers are contacted directly with clear advice on their options, and to look after our Cardiff based colleagues and crew."

Wizz Air had previously announced that it was temporarily stopping flying to Larnaca and a further eight destinations from Cardiff Airport from September last year.

The withdrawal follows the closure of a base at Doncaster Sheffield last summer.
