Wizz Air establishes operational base in Romania
20 June 2007
Wizz Air has inaugurated a new operational base established in Romania. The decision has been determined by the company’s ambitious growth plans for the country.

"Wizz Air has begun to operate flights from Tirgu Mures in July 2006 and from Bucharest in January 2007. The enthusiasm of passengers in Romania for our service offering of young aircraft flying to attractive destinations at consistently low fares has encouraged us to dedicate an aircraft and open an operational base in Romania. This decision also takes in consideration our significant growth plans in the country." stated József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer Wizz Air.

The operational base will function inside the Henri Coanda airport until the reopening of the Bucharest Baneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport and will host a new Airbus A 320 aircraft with 180 leather seats. The aircraft will be flown by a Romanian team of pilots and cabin crew already hired.

Currently, Wizz Air is operating flights from Tirgu Mures to Budapest, Rome Ciampino and Barcelona and from Bucharest to Barcelona, Budapest, Dortmund, London Luton and Rome Ciampino. Starting October, Wizz Air will operate flights from Bucharest to Liverpool (Great Britain), Parma (Italy) and Valencia (Spain) and from Tirgu Mures to London.
