Wizz Air sets foot in Romania
30.04.2006 Wizz Air, the largest low fare - low cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, announced today at a press conference in Targu Mures that it is launching flights between Romania and Hungary. The Budapest-Targu Mures line represents Wizz Air's first market entry into Romania, the 7th CEE country the airline operates from following Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia. The flights between Targu Mures and Budapest will start on 14 July 2006, three times a week initially. Tickets are already on sale with fares starting from as low as EUR 19,98 for one-way travel including taxes and charges. József Váradi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air said: "Our entry into Romania is a highly important step forward to reinforce our market leadership in Central and Eastern Europe. We aim at establishing the Wizz brand by offering unprecedented low fares and comfortable air travel to the citizens of Romania well before the country's EU accession. Targu Mures Airport is the perfect location for Wizz to serve the millions of inhabitants of Transylvania and those who wish to experience the unique nature and cultural life of the region. This is the first step and many more are to come." Petru Stefan Runcan, General Manager of Targu Mures Airport and President of the Tourist Association ASTOUR commented: "We are happy to have the first international low cost carrier in Romania flying from Targu Mures to Budapest. We expect that the low cost effect will give us a new view of development of the local public administration and will bring new business opportunities to companies. We do expect a big number of tourists and investors flying into Romania with the new low cost airline. We are proud that Wizz Air chose Tirgu Mures as its first connection in Romania." Edita Emoke Lokodi, president of the County Council added: "This is an extremely important move in the development of the county's economy and tourism. Wizz Air targets travellers with lower income who can now benefit from a modern and quick air transportation. We belive that the new flight will contribute to the development of the county. This has a particular significance before the upcoming EU accession." Published: Wizz Air |
