Wizz Air has announced two new Budapest services to Bologna and Glasgow. The new routes will commence with two weekly flights on 5 and 13 June, respectively.
Wizz Air’s Daniel de Carvalho said: "We are thrilled to announce new routes from Hungary to UK and Italy. Budapest is now accessible on our low fares from Glasgow and Bologna and we are confident that our UK and Italian passengers will appreciate visiting this buzzing Central European capital.”
Last week in a trading update, Wizz Air stated that the Group has traded well through the fourth quarter and that its revenue and profit performance for the year ending 31 March 2015 is forecast to be in-line with the Board’s expectations. Wizz Air is expected to report its preliminary results for the year ending 31 March 2015 on 27 May 2015.
The newly-listed airline also announced that it has further restructured operations in Ukraine. Wizz Air Hungary will establish an operating base in Kiev with one A320 to operate eight routes. A second A320 aircraft currently based in Kiev will be redeployed to the Group’s new operating base in Kosice, Slovakia, and will operate new routes from Kosice to Milan Bergamo and Sheffield-Doncaster in early June 2015. The Group’s Ukrainian subsidiary, Wizz Air Ukraine Airlines, will discontinue operations, but the airline said that it “stands ready for expansion as and when market conditions improve” and that the restructuring “will not have a material effect on the Group’s trading in the current year and subsequent financial years”.
