REUTERS/Kacper Pempel/File PhotoLONDON: Low-cost airline Wizz Air said on Saturday it would restart some flights from London's Luton Airport on May 1, becoming one of the first European carriers to begin restoring services that have been halted during the coronavirus pandemic.

Flights to several destinations in Romania, plus Budapest in Hungary, Lisbon in Portugal and Spain's Tenerife would be among those to resume, said London-listed Wizz, which was founded in Hungary and has a big presence in central and eastern Europe. "The protective measures that we are implementing will ensure the most sanitary conditions possible," Wizz Air UK's managing director Owain Jones said in a statement.Within European airspace most of the flights that are continuing are repatriation journeys and cargo flights, as restrictions prevent other travel and as many Europeans remain confined to their homes in lockdown.

Similar restrictions from governments across the world have left many airlines struggling to survive financially with no visibility on when restrictions will be eased, or the pace of a recovery in demand.
