After Ryanair, Wizz Air is now going to court against state aid that governments have granted to airlines. The carrier brought a lawsuit against the grants granted by the EU Commission for the Romanian aid paid to Blue Air and Tarom before the General Court of the European Union.

Tarom received compensation in October of the previous year for losses incurred due to travel restrictions. This made 19,3 million euros. In February 2020, a government-secured loan in the amount of 36,7 million euros was granted. The payment was made before the corona virus spread rapidly in Europe.

The competitor Blue Air received government support of 62 million euros due to the pandemic. According to local media, the two lawsuits were already submitted in January 2021. In contrast to its competitor Ryanair, Wizz Air did not issue a press release.

Blue Air told Economica.net that the Hungarian low-cost airline's lawsuit was not being sucked into. It is also noted that Wizz Air UK took out a £ 2020m government-secured loan in the UK in April 300. Ryanair also used this pot. However, this fact is downright hushed up. Wizz Air CEO Jozsef Varadi also emphasized in various interviews that the group he heads did not make use of any state aid and criticized the fact that, in his view, “clinically dead airlines” were granted financial aid. However, he does not mention the UK loan.
