flag Wizz Air UK gained U.S. approval for 2026 World Cup charters, enabling group flights to the U.S., though shares dropped amid broader sector concerns.

flag Wizz Air UK has received U.S. approval to operate charter flights between the UK and the U.S., enabling the budget airline to serve football teams, fans, and tour groups traveling to the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted across 10 U.S. states. flag While no regular commercial flights are planned, the authorization allows Wizz Air to offer group charters starting in summer 2026, with bookings now open. flag The move marks a major expansion into the transatlantic market, driven by anticipated demand for World Cup travel. flag Despite the milestone, Wizz Air’s shares fell over 3% amid broader airline sector declines, partly due to concerns over the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran, which could reduce its 2026 net profit by about 50 million euros.
