Wizz Air expands operations in Romania

Wizz Air has announced that it will expand its fleet in Romania and introduce new flights. As of 12 June 2010 the Company will base a third aircraft in Cluj-Napoca that will enable Wizz Air to launch new flights to Pisa and Cuneo Torino and increase frequencies on some of the existing routes.

The new aircraft will become the seventh Wizz Air Airbus A320 in the country. The airline will also add Pisa to its list of destinations from Bucharest and start new services from Timisoara to Forli Bologna.

All inclusive one way tickets are available from as low as EUR 17.49 on wizzair.com and via the call centres (please visit wizzair.com for the number of your country).

“We are very proud that in such a short time we have become the airline of choice of the Romanian passengers as well as those who travel to Romania. Being the largest airline in Romania is not only matter of prestige but also our level of commitment to growth and development to the benefit of the country and its passengers. We are confident that the third aircraft in Cluj-Napoca will further strengthen our positions on the market and add value to the local economy.” said György Abrán Chief Commercial Officer Wizz Air.

The new developments will further consolidate Wizz Air’s leadership position in Romania. The company has carried 1.4 million passengers to and from Romania in the course of 2009 up to date, 85% more than the same period last year.
