According to Reuters, WizzAir has now dropped plans to resume the Moscow route following public pressure.

Many senior managers will try to balance the desire for profits against wondering what public reaction will be.
Emirates currently fly to Moscow, so one could argue that Wizz is leaving money on the table by not flying from Abu Dhabi. Equally, Wizz is a European company, not Emirati. There are arguments both in favour and against Wizz flying Abu Dhabi - Russia, depending on your perspective.
It's remarkably common for corporations, unsure of the public reaction, to announce something will happen on a small scale, and see what happens in the press... and make sure they have some suitable excuse for withdrawing their plans if need be.

Share price down 10 % compared to yesterday. Investors always get nervous when a CFO resigns - he/she knows things that are not public and investors will be concerned the CEO may be acting on ego rather than in the interest of shareholders

At least one of Wizz aircraft has been evacuated from Ukraine today. HA-LWS, trapped for over 6 months in Lviv has entered the EU airspace and arrived in Katowice this afternoon.

With Hungary imposing Aviation windfall tax and the Ryanair postponed expansion/reduction in based aircraft, will that have a response from Wizzair and if so which way?

PMO base will be closed and aircraft to be shifted to FCO (from 5 to 7 a/c) and MXP (from 5 to 6) to support further expansion
