Wizz Air Holdings Plc will pay an additional £1.2 million pounds ($1.5 million) to customers in compensation as the low-cost airline looks to end enforcement action brought by the UK’s aviation regulator over payments for canceled or delayed flights.
Budapest, Hungary-based Wizz re-examined 25,000 claims at the Civil Aviation Authority’s instruction, with 6,000 of those resulting in an additional payment to customers. That works out to about £200 per customer on average, though some will have received bigger payouts.
