Wizz Air announced that it will continue the expansion of its operations in Romania, adding a new aircraft to its base in Bucharest. The new Airbus A321neo aircraft will join the fleet in July 2022, increasing the number of aircraft from Bucharest to 12. To mark this milestone, the airline also announced the introduction of two new routes from Bucharest to Preveza-Aktion, Greece, and Rimini, Italy. Together with the new routes, Wizz Air now offers 56 low fare services from Henri Coandă International Airport. Tickets are already available online on wizzair.com and through the mobile app from as low as 99 RON.
With the 12 aircraft at the base and its new routes adding up to the Romanian network, Wizz Air is the largest airline operating from Bucharest, restating its commitment to offering popular destinations and ultra-low fares to as many passengers as possible, in the most sustainable way.
Romanians can now travel from Bucharest to Preveza-Aktion, Greece, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, starting July 6, 2022. Located at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, the city of Preveza is a perfect destination for family vacations in a sunny destination, full of ancient history. Additionally, another flight will depart from Bucharest to Rimini, Italy, every Thursday and Sunday, starting September 29. Rimini is a popular holiday destination in Europe with a history of just as captivating and lively beaches overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
Wizz Air continues to expand its operations throughout the network, as the industry returns to its pre-pandemic capacity. With routes that will take passengers all over Europe, Romanians will be able to travel through these new low-fare Wizz Air services to two of Europe’s most exciting summer destinations and many others. The announcement of the new allotted aircraft and the two new destinations comes the same week Wizz Air announced its 2022-2023 winter schedule, with other two services becoming available again from October and November 2022 – Bucharest – Gran Canaria and Bucharest – Aqaba respectively.
Speaking at the press conference in Bucharest, Evelin Horváth, Acting Network Officer at Wizz Air, said: “We are happy to announce our 12 based aircraft in Bucharest and two new destinations. This marks an important milestone for the Romanian network, as we continue our expansion and adapt to the steady revival to the pre-pandemic capacity. These announcements confirm our growth strategy and commitment for everyone to enjoy ultra-low fares, travel safe to their desired destination and discover new places, cultures, and people. We can’t wait to welcome our passengers on board!”
Zsuzsa Trubek, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air, said: “We are permanently seeking to expand our route network from Romania, offering various destinations in Europe and not only. Through these new services and the new aircraft allotted to our base in Bucharest, we remain true to the promise of offering Romanians a safe and enjoyable travel experience across Europe and beyond. We look forward to welcoming our passengers on board and departing on the first flights from Bucharest to Preveza-Aktion and Rimini.”
