Hungarian airline Wizz Air is reducing its route network in Europe. This is due to a problem with the maintenance of Airbus engines. We'll tell you what exactly is the reason and which flights will no longer be operated.
As you know, the company has faced difficulties in servicing Pratt & Whitney engines. Experts found a malfunction in the engines installed on Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft operated by Wizz Air. For this reason, the airline had previously reduced the number of flights from Poland.
