Wizz Air offers 100,000 free seats for Ukrainian refugees

Wizz Airline's support for Ukrainian refugees

Low-cost European airline Wizz Air has announced it will be offering 100,000 free seats on short-haul flights for Ukrainian refugees.

Qazet.az reports that the Hungary-based airline said on social media that it was "committed" to helping Ukrainian refugees reach their destination.

The seats will be available on Wizz Air flights departing from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania during the month of March, the airline said.

As we know so far more than 660,000 people have already fled abroad, according to the UN's refugee agency, with Poland bearing the brunt of the migration.

An estimated 450,000 Ukrainian refugees - half the total refugee numbers so far- have arrived in Poland, the country's Deputy Interior Minister Pawel Szefernaker told private Radio Zet on Wednesday.
