Wizz Air Ukraine takes off
24 July 2008
Wizz Air Ukraine, the first low fare - low cost airline in Ukraine has launched its first service from Kiev Borispol Airport to Simferopol this month (July 11), in line with the earlier announced plan. The brand new Airbus A320 aircraft left fully loaded with 180 passengers on board.
The first ever Ukrainian low fare flight was inaugurated by Minister Vinsky, who greeted the passengers and cut the ribbon to commemorate the occasion.
Coinciding with the inauguration of Wizz Air Ukraine the airline also confirmed that it would start expanding its Ukrainian domestic route network with new flights from Kiev to Kharkiv and Zaporyzhzhia starting from 15 September, both initially flown three times a week.
Ticket sales for all of the routes at all inclusive fares starting from as low as UAH 79 are on sale on the airline’s website, wizzair.com.
“Being air born today as planned is a breakthrough accomplishment and we are thankful for all parties involved, in particular for the Ukrainian authorities and our business partners supporting the initiative. The full flight this morning and the close to 30,000 tickets sold in advance just demonstrates how well the Ukrainian public has responded to the low fares and new services of Wizz Air Ukraine. Our low fare – low cost business model on the backbone of a brand new Airbus A320 operation is spot on the demand of the Ukrainian travelling public for affordable, safe and comfortable travel. We are committed to further extending our route network to fly an ever increasing number of domestic and international destinations in the very near future.” – said Natasa Kazmer, Director General of Wizz Air Ukraine.
