Re: Wizz Air News and Discussion Thread

An ex-Qatar A330-200F (A7-AFF, bought by the Hungarian Government) will be operated by Wizz Air. What would they need a A330 for? They want to have a freighter which is instantly available during a crisis like the COVID outbreak, when masks, respirators and other equipment must be transported asap.
