what happened
Wizz Air, a low-cost carrier, has reportedly made buyout offers to a group of pilots based at London Luton, the airline's main British hub. Bloomberg News, which cited a message sent to staff, reported the move on Friday, according to Reuters. Reuters said it had not been able to confirm the report on its own.
why it matters
Voluntary exit offers to pilots usually point to efforts to trim staffing costs, so the report is relevant to Wizz Air's cost base, which investors in the budget airline sector watch closely.
