Wizz Air is under investigation by the Hungarian government over possible breaches of consumer protection laws. The budget airline, which recently announced it was suspending nearly all of its routes from Cardiff this winter, is accused of failing to provide information and assistance to customers affected by delayed or cancelled flights.
The investigation, which was ordered by the country's Ministry of Justice, will also look into reports that the airline failed to provide accommodation or rebook flights for affected passengers as well as failing to respond to consumer complaints within 30 days, according to state media.

The probe is the second of its kind to be launched against an airline by the ministry in recent weeks. The nationalist Hungarian government, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has promised to "detect, stop, and sanction any possible illegal behaviour" by airlines and other industries.
