Wizz Air has extended its offer of free tickets for Ukrainian refugees looking to travel to the UK until the end of June.

It comes after the airline's current group chief financial officer Jourik Hooghe decided to step down to pursue ‘other opportunities’

The move comes as part of the carrier’s joint initiative with not-for-profit organisations Choose Love, The Shapiro Foundation, The Steve Morgan Foundation and USPUK. 4,500 free tickets are still available. 

The partnership was launched in May with an initial 10,000 free tickets available until 15 June. Extending the initiative until the end of June allows more Ukrainian refugees flying from Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia to travel to the UK in support of the government’s Homes for Ukraine visa scheme.
