Wizz Air Makes Vaccination Compulsory for Employees

From December 1 this year, vaccination will be compulsory for all on-board staff on the airline's aircraft, but regular PCR and antigen tests will also be accepted in exceptional cases, Wizz Air said.

As the business news site napi.hu reports, in a spirit of corporate social responsibility, the airline is introducing the new rules to protect the health and safety of passengers and staff and to ensure the smooth operation of Wizz Air flights. Wizz Air's decision was based on research showing that vaccination is currently the most effective form of protection against coronavirus infection, the company explains the reason for making it compulsory for staff to be vaccinated.

As early as the outbreak of the pandemic, Wizz Air was already implementing strict health and safety measures to protect its passengers and staff, promoting physical distance and ensuring the most hygienic conditions possible. As the pandemic is still not over, Europe is one of the first countries to introduce the new rules. The aim is to achieve vaccination coverage at airline bases in accordance with local regulations, with the help of local authorities and health facilities.
