Wizz Air UK obtained regulatory approval to operate flights to the United States

Wizz Air UK has announced that it has officially received the necessary permits to operate flights between the United Kingdom and the United States. As communicated earlier, the airline has no intention or plans to launch regular commercial flights to the US, the new authorization represents a significant achievement and reflects months of preparation, regulatory coordination, and operational planning. With approvals now secured, Wizz Air UK may provide tailored charter flights for European football teams and supporters travelling to the World Cup, and to tour operators organizing group travel to the US.

“This is a proud and exciting day for everyone at our airline,” said Yvonne Moynihan, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK. “Receiving approval to operate between the UK and the United States is a huge milestone for our company. It opens the door to incredible opportunities, particularly for European football teams and supporters travelling across the Atlantic this summer. We are ready to deliver exceptional charter experiences and bring fans closer to the action in the United States.”

The airline expects strong interest from football teams participating in the World Cup. Charter packages will be designed to offer flexibility, comfort, and efficient travel for large groups.

Beyond football travel, the airline’s charter services will also be available to corporate groups, tour operators, sports organizations, and private travellers seeking convenient transatlantic connections.

“This achievement reflects the dedication and professionalism of our entire team,” added Moynihan. “We are excited to welcome passengers on board and to celebrate this new chapter as we expand our reach across the Atlantic.”
