Wizz Air suspends flights from key UK base because of "economic challenges"

Low-cost airline Wizz Air will reduce its flight schedule during the winter months with links to several popular destinations suspended. From September 19, the carrier will halt routes from Cardiff to destinations including Alicante, Corfu, Heraklion, Faro, Larnaca, Lanzarote, Palma de Mallorca, Sharm el-Sheikh, and Tenerife.

It has blamed the changes on the "challenging economic environment." The airline will continue to operate new winter season flights launching on October 30 to Milan, Italy, and Bucharest, Romania.

Airline bosses claim the decision to axe services has been difficult but made as early as possible to minimise any last-minute cancellations and offer easier rebooking options for customers.
