Wizz Air reduced (23-Mar-2020) capacity by 30% year-on-year in Mar-2020 and grounded 85% of the fleet in the week commencing 22-Mar-2020, in light of the coronavirus outbreak. The carrier continues to operate 15% of capacity and remains operational in Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria, however the grounding of the entire fleet remains a distinct possibility if additional travel restrictions are introduced.
