About Wheels Up Private Jets
Wizz Air Ukraine (ICAO: WAU, IATA: WU) was a Ukrainian low-cost airline and a subsidiary of the Hungarian Wizz Air. The airline ceased operations on April 19, 2015, due to the economic crisis and instability in the region caused by the Russo-Ukrainian War.
Wizz Air Ukraine was established on July 11, 2008, as the Ukrainian division of the Hungarian Wizz Air. It commenced domestic operations with a single Airbus A320 and later expanded to include international flights. The airline's primary operational base was Kyiv Zhuliany International Airport, with additional operations from Lviv Danylo Halytskyi International Airport. In October 2013, Wizz Air Ukraine briefly opened a second base at Donetsk International Airport, deploying one aircraft and launching six new routes, but this base was closed by April 2014 due to the war in Donbas.
By April 2015, the Wizz Air Ukraine fleet consisted of four Airbus A320-200 aircraft. Its route network focused on connecting Ukrainian cities, initially domestically and later internationally, primarily to destinations in Europe. When the airline ceased operations, some routes to and from Kyiv, particularly half of those to Germany, were taken over by the parent company, Wizz Air Hungary Ltd., while others to Italy, Spain, Russia, and Georgia were discontinued entirely. As a low-cost carrier, Wizz Air Ukraine did not hold membership in any major airline alliances such as Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld, nor did it offer distinct cabin classes beyond standard economy service. Plans for a potential relaunch of Wizz Air Ukraine were announced in November 2018, proposing a fleet of up to 20 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft by 2025, but these plans have not materialized due to the ongoing conflict.
