In the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result of travel restrictions imposed by the governments of countries around the world, airlines were forced to suspend operations and hold over 10400 aircraft on the ground.
However, in collaboration with government authorities, some air carriers have operated special, humanitarian and repatriation flights of citizens stranded in other countries.
Wizz Air provided its aircraft for such missions to the Hungarian government. Last day, 4 Wizz Air aircraft flew to Shanghai, China to pick up medical equipment. Others had the mission to repatriate Hungarian citizens from different other countries. This chapter also includes the 2 missions of today.
