The Armenian embassy in Lithuania has issued a statement on the postponement of the launch of the upcoming flights between Yerevan and Vilnius by Wizz Air.

“On March 15, Wizz Air announced that it would halt all flights to and from Lithuania starting from March 17,” the respective statement reads. “This decision was made as governments of different countries close their borders to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Accordingly, the opening of the Vilnius-Yerevan direct flight scheduled for March 20 is postponed indefinitely.”

As per the statement, Wizz Air has expressed its willingness to compensate for all the airline tickets purchased, about which the airline will send a personal notice to passengers.
