Speaking during the company’s Q3 2026 earnings call, the airline executive minimized the significance of the application, stating that there are currently no plans for Wizz Air to launch transatlantic scheduled services. However, Malin admitted that Wizz Air is looking at opportunities to operate charter flights to and from the US in connection with the sporting event, which is likely to attract thousands of fans across the Atlantic. Wizz Air is uniquely positioned to respond at relatively short notice to such peaks of demand, he added, since the A321XLR gives it this operational flexibility. Várady specifically referred to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s recent official trip to the US, which was conducted on an aircraft operated by Wizz Air UK. Unlike the airline’s other subsidiaries, Wizz Air UK is the most indicated within the Wizz Air group of airlines to perform these types of missions, since it is recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for regulatory and oversight purposes, Várady added.
