Wizz Air to compensate Israelis with 10,000 euros: "Due to the security situation"
The court ruled that Israeli passengers who purchased a flight subscription under the "All You Can Fly" program and were unable to use it during periods when the company stopped flying to Israel will receive an automatic extension of membership at no additional cost.
The Magistrate's Court in Tel Aviv approved a settlement agreement regarding a motion to certify a class action lawsuit filed against the airline Wizz Air. Under the agreement, Israeli passengers who purchased a flight subscription under the "All You Can Fly" program and were unable to use it during periods when the company suspended its flights to and from Israel will receive an extension of membership at no additional cost.
The lawsuit was filed in September 2025 by a passenger, represented by attorneys Nitzan Gadot and Doron Radai. At its center is the "Wizz All You Can Fly" flight club, which was launched in August 2024 and allowed for the purchase of an annual subscription for booking flights. According to the plaintiff, club members in Israel paid full subscription fees, but while Wizz Air suspended flights in the country, they were prevented from exercising the benefit as planned. The motion claimed that the company did not extend the subscription and did not refund the subscribers for the proportional part of their money.
Conversely, Wizz Air rejected the claims and argued that the suspension of flights was due to the security situation and exceptional circumstances beyond its control. The company added that subscribers could have used the service for flights between other destinations in its global network.
According to the company's data, the relevant flight suspension period amounted to four months and 11 days, and the group included in the settlement consists of 277 Israeli club members. Ultimately, the parties reached an agreement without conducting the legal proceedings to a full verdict.
According to the settlement, Wizz Air will identify the 277 subscribers and automatically extend their membership by three months at no cost. Additionally, the club's terms for the future were changed: if the company stops flights to a specific country for 30 consecutive days, subscribers will be able to cancel their membership and receive a proportional refund.
The court determined that the settlement provides a tangible benefit and approved a reward of 2,250 euros for the representative plaintiff, and legal fees of 7,750 euros plus VAT for his representatives. For the Israeli subscribers, this means receiving three additional months of membership for free, alongside improved protection in the event of a prolonged suspension of operations in the future.
