Wizz Air transatlantic flights are for World Cup and other ad hoc opportunities

LONDON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - ⁠Wizz ‌Air does ⁠not plan to offer a ‍regular scheduled service on transatlantic routes, ‍its Chief Executive said on ⁠Thursday, after it applied for permission to fly between ​the United Kingdom and the United States earlier this month.

The permit ‍would allow Wizz Air ‌to fly a sports team to ‌and from events such as the World Cup or ‌the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, ​Jozsef Varadi told Reuters, adding that the flights would be ⁠on an ‍ad hoc basis.

"This would be ​very opportunistic in ⁠a way," he said. (Reporting by Joanna Plucinska; editing by Barbara Lewis)
