Budget carrier Wizz Air has got the go-ahead to fly transatlantic flights to North America for the FIFA World Cup this summer.
Wizz Air said it has been approved to operate World Cup flights from the UK for fans.
The flights will be available for individual bookings as well as sports tour operators selling FIFA packages.
World Cup group and knockout matches are played in 10 US states, Mexico and Canada.
Wizz Air’s UK business applied for the foreign air carrier permit with the US Department of Transportation in January.
It has now been approved which will allow the airline to fly to US host cities.
