Ait carrier says that up to 11 new aircraft will be deployed across the new bases operating approximately 50 new routes. 

Wizz Air, the largest low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, was partly bailed out by the UK government during the coronavirus COVID-19 crisis has also announced this week that it will prolong the period of suspension for several routes to and from Romania following the extension of existing travel restrictions announced by the Romanian authorities.

Many other route suspensions have been extended until the end of the first week of June at least as a second wave of infections seems to be starting in some European countries.
